The magazine simply titled Woodwork is by far my favourite. The latest issue, #118 – Winter 2012, is on magazine stands now and I strongly recommend that you look for it. (It is also available in the American Woodworker Online Bookstore.)
Woodwork #118 - Winter 2012
Woodwork is a different magazine. Instead of focusing on step-by-step projects, it showcases woodworkers and their work. Read more of my thoughts on Woodwork HERE.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the annual issue and gleaned four excellent quotes from its pages. You can find these and more on the page titled Quotes from Woodwork (Resources -> Quotables -> Quotes from Woodwork).

“From the time he started his own workshop in the 1960s, Alan [Peters] worked long and hard to prove that one could still earn a living in the contemporary world by building useful, beautiful furniture with integrity, one piece at a time, and he prided himself on making furniture that was priced within reach of working people like himself.” – Peter Korn
