Woodcraft Magazine was begun in 2004 by the Woodcraft Supply Corporation, whose founders realized that there was a need for a regular publication written by woodworkers for the large and growing number of woodworkers. The first issue of Woodcraft Magazine was published in November of 2004 to very positive acclaim, and within a year had been honored with a number of awards.
Among them were:
The Crystal Award of Excellence, in the magazine category, Award of Distinction in the magazine writing category, and an Honorable Mention in the magazine photography category for the Communicator Awards 2005 Print Media Competition;
The Award for Publication Excellence in the new magazines category at the 2005 APEX awards, based on outstanding graphics and editorial content;
and five separate awards at the 2005 Marcom Creative Awards in the magazine, magazine writing, magazine interior creativity and design, magazine photography, and magazine creativity categories.
Woodcraft Magazine’s Formula
Woodcraft Magazine’s formula for success is relatively simple; its seven annual issues are designed to have content which will offer information on woodworkers and project woodcrafting products, and woodcraft project suggestions and plans for woodworkers of every degree of expertise. Woodworkers are invited to submit their own articles or ideas on articles they’d like to see.
The projects articles are extremely popular among Woodcraft Magazine’s readership. They present the audience with a finished woodworking project and then lead them through the process step-by-step, from its initial design and materials selection to the actual carving and finishing of the piece. With each bi-monthly issue, the readers are given a new project, so the most avid of them will have some woodworking to do all year long.
Woodcraft Magazine also devotes many of its articles to interviews with the premiere woodworkers of today, who generously share the secrets to their success. And each issue Woodcraft Magazine also contains the latest on woodworking products. They cover the entire range of items and information sources useful to woodcrafters, from the newest power and hand tools to woodworking classes and books. If an item has any bearing on the art of woodcrafting, it will eventually get a mention in Woodcraft Magazine.
