A herd of cattle, a pride of lions, a gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, rash of lawyers.....
What do we call a group of woodworkers? (Aside from "the wreck"?)

I asked my wife. She says, "It doesn't matter. If you have a group of woodworkers together they'll never hear you over their story telling."

LOL! Bring out a good chunk of hardwood & the focus changes!

H*ll, *everybody* knows that one.
Woodworkers are, after all, a _splinter_ group.
In keeping with the season...how about a "ghastly of woodworkers."
How about a "raft" of woodworkers?
How about a "block" of woodworkers?
I got it! a "garage" of woodworkers!
A Lignum!
That would be a "whack of woodworkers".
-Doug (With apologies to the Forestry Forum)
Ouch. That hurt.

a block of chippers

I have found a "descent of woodpeckers," a "gatling of woodpeckers," a "fall of woodcocks," and a "chord or woodwinds" but nothing for woodworkers so I guess we're free to invent our own. Here are a few suggestions:
a bark of woodworkers a cut of woodworkers a gloat of woodworkers a norm of woodworkers a ring of woodworkers a gripe of woodworkers a wane of woodworkers a joint of woodworkers

A horde (double meaning - describes the common practice of hoarding nice boards) A mob A posse A swarm
woodies ?
