WOODWORKER'S ART

Sentesy Solid Woodwork

People often think of woodworkers as those with a chainsaw or a nail belt and a pencil behind the ear. Sometimes woodworkers may also be artists. Traditional concepts of form and line are used on wood to make sculptural art. Wood itself is like a cosmic record of where that tree stood and embodies a patience and organic integrity we could all learn from

I thought a show in an art venue would awaken an interest in the woodworker’s art. The framed panels hung as flat work could easily be fitted to a cabinet and put to work as furniture. The paddle might be carved or painted. The music stand can be a lecturn or a book stand. The stools could be either tables or chairs. So often, furniture is “only furniture” when it could enrich our lives as art. This is especially so when hand made. Consider Canadian furniture for your home, made by builders and apprentices working Canadian wood in our community.
