Who We Are

Launched in 1984, WOOD® magazine is the world’s most trusted woodworking resource — a distinction we’ve earned by guaranteeing our readers’ success in their woodworking shops. Our mission: to inspire and inform woodworkers at every stage of their journey by providing reliable and accurate project plans, woodworking techniques, and product reviews.

Every project you build from wood has a history ingrained in the material and a future that will outlive you. There is a deep satisfaction in working with your hands, mastering a new skill in the woodshop, or crafting a heritage piece. We know this because woodworking is our passion as well. And we strive to pour that same passion into the content we create for you.
