Re: Can Fine Woodworking and art furniture coexist?

I started in woodworking building boxes and shelving projects; the type we see featured in FWW. FWW and other mags have always been a reference and fun read seeing what others have done. Let's face it, we all love making saw dust! and the by product, what ever it is, can only utilize the joinerey and skills we are comfortable incorporating. I guess Toms double ended chair might be viewed by some as art. Personally it's a waste of wood. But then I love burl turned bowls, spalted pens, birdseye jewelry boxes and quarter sawn oak book shelves. I have come to understand form and function as I enjoy them and see no reason to bag too much on Toms vision. I just wouldn't buy it. Thanks to FWW for years of jigs, tips, and articles on projects I would never build. I just love reading about it.
