Fine Woodworking

Fine Woodworking

Fine Woodworking is a woodworking magazine published by Taunton Press in the USA.

Editorial style

The magazine's editorial direction has always been to focus on the very best of woodworking techniques at the highest level of skill. There has always a blend of articles from hands-on techniques, complex theory behind timber, finishes or tools, through to sheer showcase admiration of the work of others. The quality of the work illustrated has always been a feature of the magazine: no matter how unattainable such skills might appear, the editors have never been afraid to show it as an aspiration to readers.

Although there are a good number of "project" articles included, Fine Woodworking has never "dumbed down" to make its pieces easier and more populist.

History

The magazine began publication in 1975, with simple monochrome printing and stapled monochrome covers.

Collected volumes have also been produced as both hardback and softback books. These began as collections of the best general articles in a numbered series '"Fine Woodworking" Techniques' (8 volumes from 1985 to 1986)cite book
