PENS FOR TROOPS:
The program was born a decade ago and many people across the nation make writing pens for our troops seeing action overseas. Our chapter produces close to 300 pens a year for donation to the program and we feature this project during several of our public events like a local arts weekend and our demo at the Delta Fair to draw attention to our craft and the story/program behind our making of these pens. We have met several military members who received one of these pens and their appreciation is what keeps us making more pens.

OK to handle with CLEAN HANDS.  The woodturnings are privately owned and are on loan to NHLA, please do not remove from the room.

The Mid South Woodturners Guild (MSWG) is a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners located in Memphis, TN. Our mission is to provide information, education, a meeting place and an effective organization for all who are interested in turning wood.

MSWG thanks NHLA for their generosity in sharing the use of their facility for club meetings, woodturning demonstrations, and holding woodturning workshops​
