President’s Challenge Award Program

Welcome to the MSWG President's Challenge Award Program page.


Each month, the acting MSWG President will announce a President's Challenge for the coming month.   All MSWG members are eligible to participate.

The President's Challenge and its related Award Program are to be focused on member participation by ALL – a personal challenge for each member of individual woodturning goals and trying something new or different.

Let’s “turn” it into judgement-free fun - removing "whose woodturning is best" in skill or as a selection influenced by club politics or friendships, etc.

So, just turn, turn, turn and celebrate creativity, imagination and focused work!

Alternatives if you cannot attend the monthly meeting:

  1. Send your President's Challenge to the meeting with a friend or some other person.

  2. Send a photo of the item by email to photos@mswg.club along with any special notes.
