Woodturners from USA, Turkey, and Morocco were invited to the 2015 World Wood Day Woodturning Demonstration. During the woodturning program, turners demonstrated a variety of turning techniques from turning non-symmetrical shapes to turning by foot. Of all the woodturning pieces, the small and flamboyant spinning tops remained the all-time favorites among children.
World Wood Day is a cultural event celebrated annually during the week of March 21st to highlight wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and to raise awareness on the key role wood plays in a sustainable world. Starting from 2013, WWD celebrations were held in Tanzania and China respectively, involving participants from over 100 countries and regions.
