The only magazine I subscribe to these days is Popular Woodworking. Since Chris Schwartz became the editor this is now the best magazine available on the subject of woodworking, in my view. Not much on woodturning if that is your thing but almost every other magazine covers woodturning to death so it's nice to have a change for us cabinet makers.
I subscribed to FWW for years but cancelled last year.
I'm not so down on Australian Woodsmith as others are. I do know the origins of the material but there is some localization. I think it is reasonable value for money and the designs are well thought out and practical.

SWMBO says I get too many and that they take up too much space
FWW
AWR
Aus Woodworker
Aus Woodsmith (yes I know it's origins)
I also get More Woodturning electronically, here it's a little quirky but I find it a good read. I fact I've almost finished reading the electronic back issies from 1996 to date
They are all different and I get a good read out of them, sometimes a little hohum but usually of some interest
Have been thinking of the electronic American Association of Woodturners mag, might buy myself a sub for xmas (now there's an idearegards

The question remains about what's covered and how well, re woodturning.
The OP was general but as it was put in the w/t subforum that's what I'm sticking to.
AWR: though normally there's only one article per issue and only 4 issues per year IME they have been of high quality, from the likes of Terry Martin, Richard Raffan and Andrew Potochnik. They are mostly projects but have also covered tools and sharpening. For me they justify the price and I have just subbed for a year.
Aust WW: again, usually just the one piece, projects or tools. Brendan's had an awesome project piece in recently, and there's stuff on DIY tools like the Skewart. The style and production values are more 'homey' than AWR but no worse for that.
Woodturning: the UK mag; have given my view of that.
Woodturning Design: US; outrageous newsagent price and much cheaper to sub. Despite the title there's not much about design. Lots of chat and tips as well as projects.
American Woodturner: projects, tips, association and chapter info, lead pieces on wood art, occasional pieces on quality research on issues like tool edge treatments. High production values and a window on where leading edge work in the US is heading. Online sub is good value in my opinion.
More Woodturning: online; essentially a one-man show and after subbing for a year I wouldn't again. Too limited.Cheers, Ern

what if you were not focusing on wood turning per se but wood work in general with some fgood projects to take on.

Funnily enough, I subscribe to AWR because of the range of wood working related stories.
I do occasionally buy a range of both Australian and international mags for variety, but have not found another one to bother to subscribe to, even the electronic versions.Pat
