The purpose of this, the official Association of Polelathe Turners & Greenwood Workers web site, is to promote green woodworking and all its associated crafts so that once again the woodlands of the world are nurtured and valued as a source of employment and enjoyment.
If you would like to be involved in the running of the APT&GW, even in a small way please read the Chairman's call for volunteeers.
We are pleased to announce that you can now use Paypal to subscribe to APT & GW membership. You can also use one of the other methods listed. Subscribers to the APT & GW receive a quarterly magazine called the Bodger's Gazette. See Gazette pages
