ASSOCIATION OF POLE-LATHE TURNERS & GREEN WOODWORKERS

 

The Association of Pole-Lathe Turners and Green Woodworkers aka "The Bodgers" was created in 1990 by a group of like-minded individuals who wanted to promote the art of pole-lathe turning and green woodworking to the rest of the world.

​

The Association is a "not for profit" inclusive organisation run by volunteers that forms a diverse community dedicated to preserving green woodworking and heritage woodland crafts, skills and techniques for future generations. We also embrace more contemporary works with green wood in an aim to push the craft forward.

​

Our ethos is based on skill sharing, demonstrating, and education. We aim to make green woodworking and all its associated crafts enjoyable and accessible to all.
