Apollo Sprayers International, Inc. is a proud co-sponsor of the annual Excellence in Woodworking exhibition which is held by the Arizona Association of Fine Woodworkers (AAFW). Apollo donates a $200 gift certificate for the "Excellence in Finishing" category.

Arizona Association of Fine Woodworkers (AAFW) is a nonprofit organization of men and women interested in woodworking.

All levels of woodworking experience, from beginners to skilled, are welcome to join us and participate in club activities.

From amateurs to professionals, from novices and beginners to skilled craftsmen and craftswomen, our membership covers a wide range of skills and knowledge.

With a broad spectrum of woodworking interests among our members, we plan programs and activities for all members and for the benefit of the broader community:

  • Monthly meetings
  • Mentor workshops
  • Toys for kids
  • Woodworking shows
  • Woodworking competitions

This is our 4th year being involved with the association and we are pleased to be able to support their fine efforts.

Each year this show gets bigger and better. The show has now been running 5 years, 4 of which Apollo has been a part. As co-sponsor of the event Apollo donates equipment prizes for “Excellence in Finishing”. This year was no exception.

Congratulations go to Raul Ramirez who won the honor this year with his beautiful rocking chair made from Walnut. Awesome job Raul, keep up the good work. Raul was presented with a $200 gift certificate by President John Darroch on Sunday February 22, 2009.
