I’m trying to obtain some statistics & sources of information for a woodworking related project I’m working on as follows:
– How many amateur & professional woodworkers are there in the United States as well as the world (a breakdown of countries would be most helpful).
– Trying to identify any general woodworker demographic information that is available (age, income range, etc.).
Best regards.

Dear jmd199
I'm not sure whether anyone has the statistics you want. I know we don't at FineWoodworking. You might try industry sources, such as AWFS. Here's the link:

The U.S. Department of Commerce may have some data, at least for professionals. I'm unaware of anyone who tries to tally up the number of amateur woodworkers. As for data for other countries, I'd suggest asking at the United Nations; one of its agencies may have some data.
Best of luck,

David,
Thanks for the guidance and I'll pursue as suggested. Should I find the details, I'll share it back with the group for everyone's awareness.
Best regards
