2025 was a very strong and rewarding year for the Bucks Woodturners. We welcomed world-class demonstrators, enjoyed engaging member-led Show and Tell meetings, and wrapped up the year with our always-popular Member Raffle and Pollyanna. Throughout the year, the club continued to do what it does best—share knowledge, build skills, and strengthen our sense of community.

One of the highlights of the year was our successful Hands On Workshop (HOW) series in the spring. Members generously opened their shops to fellow turners, teaching specific skills in a small-group, hands-on environment. These workshops continue to be a cornerstone of our club and a great example of members supporting members.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, talent, and enthusiasm throughout the year. We look forward to building on this momentum in 2026.
