TOGETHER
We Teach, We Make, We Serve
Welcome to The Guild of New Hampshire Woodworkers, a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to educate. Whether you are already a woodworker, or are interested in taking up the hobby, we invite you to become a member of our community. We believe everyone, from aspiring Beginner to accomplished Professional, can both teach and learn from each other. The Guild was founded in 1990 by fourteen local woodworkers as a way to meet and share their individual skills and knowledge. We have since grown to more than 750 members and expanded our services while staying true to our core mission–to teach and encourage others who share our passion for woodworking.
