"Wood crafting was started in the Waikato by a group of wood carvers around 1984 at Fairfield College staff room with twelve people and no lathes. Wilhelmus (Bill) van den Berg (the first President) advertised for those interested to bring a piece of work to discuss. The group then moved to Melville High School under the guidance of woodwork teacher Derek Kerwood. This class extended from carving and marquetry into woodturning from which the Waikato Guild of Woodworkers evolved."
