Rutherford County Woodworkers
Welcome. We’re a local woodworking club for all skill levels — beginners learning their first joints through longtime makers who still enjoy a good shop tip.

In the community
We build handmade wooden toys for Toys for Tots, in partnership with the Marine Corps League. Around November 2025 we delivered about 350 toys; our 2026 goal is 400. Builds often get going around March.
More on outreach — including Christmas Cheer, Helene “Memories in Wood,” little libraries, demos, and wood share — is on the Community page.
