Chapter Stalwarts - Montrose Area Woodturners

Dave Kaufmann

Dave was one of the founding members of the Montrose Area Woodturners and the first President. Even though he is not the current President, he is very much the heart and soul of the club. He has open shops on a regular basis and is among the first to offer lessons to anyone who wants to learn.

He was one of the driving forces in starting and maintaining our Eagle Head Cane project for veterans and ensures we have enough canes on hand for presentations. Over a year ago, he started our Wig Stand project to produce and present wig stands to cancer patients who have lost their hair. In a little over one year, we have donated over 150 wig stands in western Colorado. Dave is truly a driving force in making our small group special.
