Where does this conversation take us as woodworkers? I can see why a Librarian, needing to sort information into discrete categories, would need to break the amorphous blob of woodworking into its component parts, but as woodworkers, why do we need to try to draw lines in the sand to make “Us. Vs. Them” comparisons.

Where do these conversations lead too?

Toothpicks aren’t woodworking but Model Furniture is!
House Framing isn’t “Fine Woodworking” but finish carpentry is!
Furniture isn’t art, furniture is craft!

Where do these comparisons take us, other then to a school yard argument, which goes no where? Instead of wondering what linguistic category this toothpick boat fits in, we should just appreciate the reality before us. And it appears to me as if there is a man in the world with a little too much free time ;)

Agreed with above poster. Simple and attractive.
