Slideshow: View the finalists of the 2024 #YoungWoodPro competition
Each year, Woodworking Network's Young Woodworking Professionals competition recognizes outstanding projects and the young wood pros who create them. Entrants must be between the ages of 18-35, (by year’s end 2024) and be a professional woodworker. This year we were able to narrow the submissions down to 15 finalists and one winner will be chosen by our panel of judges based on two categories: overall look/presentation of the project, and complexity of construction and design.
