Magazine's new approach, design creating a buzz among woodworkers PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- An emphasis on woodworking projects, techniques and products is the driving force behind the increased popularity -- and sales -- of Woodcraft Magazine, one of the industry's premier "how-to" publications, according to Editor-In-Chief Jim Harrold. "Approximately six months ago, we took a hard look at the content and design of Woodcraft Magazine and realized it was time for an overhaul," Harrold stated. "We've refocused our efforts to better facilitate woodworking success among our readers across all skill levels and the changes are being received very favorably." Harrold said the new and improved magazine features a variety of woodworking projects in each issue -- ranging from traditional furniture to home accessories -- that are broken down into sub-assemblies and simple building steps. This approach makes it easier for hobbyists of all skill levels to successfully complete them. "We are choosing projects we believe our customers are interested in and that feature attractive designs that are easy to build and affordable to make," Harrold said. The magazine also utilizes some of the top woodworking writers in the industry to provide editorial and project content. Joe Hurst-Wajszczuk, Scott Phillips, Bob Settich and Craig Bentzley are just a few of the seasoned industry veterans sharing their experience and knowledge with our readers.
