People value handmade work because they can identify the maker and the details that set it apart. It’s about authenticity and being real, and that’s what our readership and communities rely on and respect Australian Wood Review for.

Australian Wood Review’s history goes back 33 years, and the one constant we now look forward to is change. Maintaining relevance to a diverse audience has been about adaptability, embracing new platforms and technology. I believe that longevity in media, and for our industry partners, is all about seeing new possibilities and exploring them.

AWR’s flagship is a top-quality print magazine for fine woodworkers, and with the development of digital and social platforms, the brand now engages with a creative community of more than 600,000 people that extends around the globe.

AWR online remains the only Australian website for on-timewoodworking news, reviews and events. As a counterpoint, Maker of the Year Awards now provide a unique annual print and digital platform for showcasing contemporary fine woodwork that our audience readily engages with and leverages off.

In 2025, we look forward to partnering with you as we continue to present information about the tools and technologies that make woodworking accessible to all.
