The ground work
Today I’m going to start a whole new project. The education of the masses on what makes one piece of furniture better than another. Sure, we woodworkers would probably look at the construction techniques or the refinement of the carving and make the determination based on that observation but we’re missing something. The sum of the collective parts is not necessarily greater than the whole. What I mean is, if a piece is meticulously crafted but is lacking in design, and detail, it will still be something less than a masterpiece.
