We are a group of woodworking enthusiasts (and some fanatics) ranging from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals. Our members have varied interests in woodworking including carving, turning, box making, furniture making, cabinetmaking and a whole lot more. The club is a good place to learn new things, share ideas and just meet with a great bunch of people.


CNC Art Guild of AmericaCNC Art Guild of America: The purpose of this Guild is described in the name. Guild Members are people across America that use the CarveWright and  CompuCarve Woodworking system to produce art.

A guild is a union of women and men in the same craft or trade upholding standards and protecting their members. The earliest guilds were formed as confraternities of workers.

In pre-industrial cities, craftsmen tended to form associations based on their trades, confraternities of textile workers, masons, carpenters, carvers, glass workers, each of whom controlled secrets of traditionally imparted technology, the "arts" or "mysteries" of their crafts. Usually the founders were free independent master craftsmen.
