HCWG – Howard County Woodworkers Guild

Howard County Woodworkers Guild (HCWG)

The Guild creates, educates, and inspires woodworkers.

We provide a supportive community where woodworking enthusiasts of all skill levels come together to share knowledge, hone their craft, and promote the artistry of woodworking. Through workshops, educational opportunities, our well-equipped wood shop, monthly presentations and networking, and community outreach, we strive to cultivate creativity, craftsmanship, and camaraderie.

Whether your interest is in turning, fine woodworking, carving, finishing, lumber, trees, or camaraderie, all of the above, or you’re not sure; our Guild is for you. Come to a meeting or two and get acquainted.

Guild 2025 Social Event

Posted on Sep 17th 2025 by MMeehan WebmasterSep 17th 2025

About 50 guild members and family came together on a perfect late summer day to enjoy each other’s company at this year’s annual social event. The day was filled with great pot luck food, socializing, shared camaraderie, some grilling, swimming and Matt’s annual odds-and-ends raffle.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who supported the event, and a most appreciative tip of the cap to our gracious host Victoria Airey and her husband who once again opened their lovely home for our enjoyment and use.

Julie Simon Grabill captured some photos of the event, attached.

We’ll do it again next year, and I hope to see you there!
