Our monthly meeting was packed with creativity, craftsmanship, and a whole lot of sawdust pride. Check out these Show & Tell highlights from our members—each piece is a reminder of how strong and talented our woodworking community is.

To keep that spirit growing, we’re asking for your support. Our new club workshop is under construction. It will play a key role in education and outreach, helping new woodworkers learn the craft and giving seasoned makers a place to share their skills.

If you’d like to help us continue that mission, please consider donating to the construction project for our nonprofit at

May Membership Meeting — Didn’t Disappoint.

We were thrilled to welcome Mathew Roundtree of Naptown Woodshop as our featured speaker and demonstrator. Mathew showcased Easy Wood Tools and demonstrated creative ways to embellish bowls and vases.

This meeting also included our annual Steering Committee and Club Officer elections, so your participation was much appreciated .

We also brainstormed future topics for next year’s gathering.

Remember we take the summer off and will gear up in September.

Huge shoutout to Jay, Tamara, and Ross House for hosting this month’s WVWW meeting and sharing Grant’s incredible story.

Grant dreamed of a place where kids like him could learn, play, and thrive—and the House family has turned that dream into Grant’s House, a growing haven for children with special needs.

We all left inspired, humbled, and grateful. WVWW members are excited to nurture this new relationship and find ways to partner with this amazing organization in the future.

Scrap Wood Table Challenge — What a Day!

Our woodworking crew proved once again that you don’t need fancy lumber to make something amazing… just a pile of scrap wood, questionable decision‑making, and a whole lot of determination.

This year’s challenge: build a table without buying a single thing.

The results: equal parts genius, comedy, and “please don’t lean on that yet.”
A huge shout‑out to our winners:

🏆 Ken Sherwin
🏆 Derek Sharvelle
🏆 Pat Beason

Each one brought a totally different interpretation of the rules, the dimensions, and in some cases… the definition of “table.”

We heard some hilarious behind‑the‑scenes stories — from design plans that changed every 10 minutes, to tools that mysteriously disappeared, to skill issues that magically resolved themselves at the last second. And of course, plenty of gratitude once the sawdust settled and the projects actually stood upright.
Everyone took a unique angle on the challenge, and that’s what made it so fun. Creativity was high, stress was medium, and laughter was nonstop.
A great time was had by all — and we’re already excited for the next round.

Until then, keep building, keep experimenting, and keep finding new uses for that scrap pile!
