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.

Famous quotes containing the words editorial and/or style:
“I have been in the editorial business going on fourteen years, and it is the first time I ever heard of a man’s having to know anything in order to edit a newspaper.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
