Our members, both men and women, represent all skill levels in a wide variety of woodworking interests. Some are professionals, some are new comers to the craft and some have been at it for many years. All enjoy woodworking regardless of skill level and are willing to share their experiences. Monthly meetings are structured to present programs on woodworking-related subjects that will further the purpose of The Association. Programs are presented by professionals, manufacturer's representatives and members.
Visitors are welcome at all regular meetings.
The Charlotte Woodworkers Association, a non-profit organization, was formed in 1985 as an informal association of people interested in woodworking and the desire to improve and promote the craft. Growth in membership and the desire for a heated and cooled meeting room resulted in moving the meetings to the Incarnation Lutheran Church at Archdale and Old Reid Roads. In 1997, The Woodworking Shop of Hickory, NC., opened an outlet in Charlotte and offered their facility to the CWA for monthly meetings. This superior location, as well as promotion by the Woodworkers Shop, has helped to almost double the membership in the past year. The officers of the Association, President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary are nominated by the membership and elected in November of each year to serve from January through December of the following year.
