[Dan Robinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clearly written, beautiful photos, and such a diverse range of topics across the articles. Where other Fine Woodworking collections are specific to something like baroque furniture or hand tool methods, this one appears to be their miscellaneous collection. I find such variety very entertaining, a rare treat in my technical reading.

Warning: not very useful to non-Americans as most of the writing is about species and activities specific to the USA
