Welcome to the
A proud chapter of the American Association of Woodturners<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">

</span>
The Central Oklahoma Woodturners Association<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
<span itemprop="name">Central Oklahoma Woodturners Association</span>
</span> (COWA) site was created with help of https://aygul.de to share information about our club with fellow wood turners. Members of COWA hope that you enjoy your visit and invite you to return often.
The links above will lead you to pages about our club, who to contact, news items, newsletters, photo galleries, and articles related to woodturning. Additional links on this site are indicated by text or banners that are underlined. These links will lead to specific items.
The mission of the Central Oklahoma Woodturners Association<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
<span itemprop="name">Central Oklahoma Woodturners Association</span>
</span> is to advance the mission of the American Association<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
<span itemprop="name">American Association</span>
</span> of Woodturners by providing education, information, and organization to anyone with an interest in the field of woodturning.
Three primary purposes are:
1. to provide organization through club meetings, demonstrations, and instruction
2. to promote the craft and art of woodturning
3. to provide instruction through demonstrations and classes
These purposes are accomplished by conducting demonstrations during club meetings, at mid high and high schools, and public functions to stimulate the understanding of woodturning as an art and craft. COWA provides training, instructions, and technical assistance to members through hands-on classes, publications, and DVDs.
In the mid 1980's Paxton's Woodcrafters store had a woodworking association which met on a monthly basis for their hobby patrons. While attending these meeting and visiting with other members it became apparent that a small number of people were interested in turning and desired advice as well as hands on instructions. Additional discussions and investigation pointed to Alan Lacer<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
<span itemprop="name">Alan Lacer</span>
</span> as one of the more knowledgeable turners in the area who was conducting a basis turning class at the Moore-Norman Vocational-Technology school.
At the time Alan's class had eight students, six from the Okla. City/Norman area, one from Beaver, OK and one from Kansas. With guidance from the recently formed American Association of Woodturners<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
<span itemprop="name">American Association of Woodturners</span>
</span> (AAW)
Alan the small group started meeting at various member's shop on a regular basis. Their activities not only included turning but they started working to establish a turning club. They begin by electing the following officers; Alan Lacer<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">

Each year COWA demonstrates woodturning at schools, town/city festivals, and fairs. Another benefit to members is the club sanctioned wood turning classes for members at a nominal fee.
In the past COWA used an AAW scholarship grant to send one of its members to Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts for a wood turning class. In 2007 COWA was approved for an AAW educational opportunity grant which went to the support of the Mustang Mid High School wood turning program. In 2008 the club received an educational opportunity grant to upgrade the club audio/video equipment in an effort to provide more educational sources to the members. The grant funds received in 2010 will be used to purchase tools to enhance and expand our classes to students.
