Wood is widely used in making furnitures, wall units, and shelves...etc., just like glass, metal and other 'modern looking' mateiral, wood is also used to create "ART". What is the best looking piece of art made of wood that you have ever seen? And what kind of wood is it??
whate ever my customer has just walked off with leaving money behind.
Back in 1980 I saw a large wooden "Swiss Army knife" in Evansville, IN.
It was about 4 feet long in the handle and made of a variety of woods. The smooth lines, perfect edges, and subtly contrasting colors and textures have always stuck in my mind.
I'd like to know where that piece ended up...

That knife is in a storefront on the Mag mile in downtown Chicago.

I would have to say some of the boxes on this page... Someday, I hope to be able to do something similar.

They are extraordinary examples of skill, but I just find them attractive. Art, and beauty, is rather different than simple craftsmanship; no matter how great it is.
Oops... That should be "I just don't find them attractive". Which is another reason I would never attempt anything like them; one goof...
