Minn-Dak Woodturners Association

Who We Are:
The Minn-Dak Woodturners Association is the greater Fargo-Moorhead Area's chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.  Our membership is approximately 75 turners.  We have monthly meetings where we exchange ideas, share projects, and learn new techniques from club members and guest demonstrators.

Visitors are always welcome!  Stop in and see who we are and what we do before deciding if you wish to join


Our next meeting will be on:
Thursday September 9th at 6:30PM.

Our regular meeting schedule will resume. 
Ron Williams and Paul Hedman will demonstrate turned Christmas ornaments!

Reminder, September starts our new year.  Dues of $25 can be paid to our treasurer Ron Ericson.

The meeting location will be at Trollwood Perfoming Arts Center in Moorhead!
