Woodwork is copying in one way or another. If your building from a plan then you are copying. If you draw your own plans your unique ideas came from inspiration from past works somehow. Sam Maloof rockers are well known and a refined piece of work compared to mass produced rockers. His idea still came from looking at a rocking chair and making it better. Making minnor changes to a plan does not make it unique just a little different. Discussing where to draw the line as to what is copied and what is not could get to be like talking about poltics or religion. Everyone has a different point of view.
