About Us

The Humboldt Woodworking Society is created to support education in woodworking, and to foster the growth of woodworking skill within the North Coast region of California by:

 

  1. Supporting and providing formal and informal education in woodworking
  2. Increasing public awareness of and knowledge about woodworking
  3. Fostering best practices in woodworking including sustainable use of wood and woodworking techniques that produce durable objects of beauty and utility
  4. Fostering community among woodworkers
The Humboldt Woodworking Society organizes and presents WoodFair each year in cooperation with our educational partner, College of the Redwoods, and our host, Almquist Lumber Company. We provide opportunities for woodworkers to grow in their craft through show and sale of their woodworking products at partner galleries. We provide educational opportunities for woodworkers at our monthly meetings, and we provide opportunities to build community among woodworkers through social events including an annual barbeque, an annual pizza feed, and an annual holiday party. Integrated into our ongoing activities, we raise funds to support WoodFair, including its formal educational aspects, and we raise funds to support scholarships for College of the Redwoods woodworking students.
