On behalf of the SouthWest Association of Turners, I welcome you to our website. Here you can learn about our organization and our annual woodturning symposium, the second largest gathering of this nature in the world! This is our seventeenth event and it promises to be the best one yet!

This year it will be held October 17-19, 2008 in Waco, Texas at the Waco Convention Center, and will feature seven outstanding national/international lead demonstrators, an excellent regional lead demonstrator and a number of local demonstrators, who promise to thoroughly engage you.
