Donate a Tree
Thank you for considering donating wood or a tree to the Strait Turners Wood Club. We are a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) and registered with the IRS as a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization. Our members proudly support sustainable creative practices by obtaining and sourcing wood from salvaged, local trees that have previously been felled due to wind storms, disease, damage, or old age. 

What we do
  • We come to your location and use chainsaws to cut large pieces of wood into wood blanks, which are used by our members
  • We remove the larger pieces of wood previously felled by a tree cutting service or storms/wind/old age
  • We prefer hardwood species (Madrone, Oak, Maple) and fruitwood (apple, cherry, pear)
  • We do not charge for our service
  • We carry liability insurance for protection against accidents
  • We provide documentation to support your tree/wood donation to our non-profit
  • We clean up and remove wood shaving, resulting from on-site chainsaw work

What we don't do

  • We do not fell trees
  • We do not remove small branches, leaves, twigs, and/or loose debris
  • We do not provide wood chipping services
  • We do not pay for wood
  • We do not provide bonding or sign waivers
  • We do not place a monetary value on donated wood
