Fine Woodworking Gallery Submissions

Written By Dena Koehn

Fine Woodworking magazine features a “Gallery” section in each issue (usually around page 70). It’s a well-respected platform that showcases reader-submitted work—including projects by students—highlighting fine craftsmanship and creative design.

SBWI student Rex Hansen has had two pieces published there and plans to submit a third soon. The submission process is straightforward if you follow their format. Rex sent over a sample page from a past issue for reference.

Each issue typically features a dozen or so standout projects, each accompanied by a brief write-up. It’s a great way to gain national recognition and inspire others.

Submission guidelines and the online application can be found here:
