It is the object of MAWT to provide special demonstrators at least once a year. These are typically a nationally known woodturner who comes in and provides a paid demonstration on a Saturday that highlights their particular niche in woodturning. Then, on Sunday and sometimes extending over to Monday, a paid hands-on session is offered to local woodturners. This provides an opportunity for club members to be exposed to new and exciting techniques without the need to travel.
