This is inspiring work

  1. Why? What or how does it inspire? It's a couple of distressed beams pinned together by bowties. Art with an "F", at least in my opinion.

  2. Could have made this bench a thing of beauty and safety, should have poured resin in different colors or just one color to seal that opening. Give it an E for somewhat effort but a large F for failure to complete.

  3. That is a fine looking bench! Functional and artistic.

  4. Unless that is a fart gap on the bench it is not to be desired by me. I like anon6:07 idea with the resin idea. Only way to save it

  5. What a waste of skill and effort. If that had been done for the construction of a barn or other building for construction without nails I would have been impressed.

  6. Art is in the eye of the beholder.

    CW who runs this site for free I might add thinks it worthy of posting here.

    Maybe this site isn't one some of you need to waste time visiting?

    2. A critic is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased, he hates all creative people equally.

      I suspect most here haven't worked wood, let alone wood that was hewn long before they were born.

      But they can bash the results

  7. The beauty is in the age of the wood, and wonder of the men who cut them and shaped them as structural timbers, using only cross-cut saws and adze axes.

    1. Not to mention the skills to cut and fit so precisely those connecting "bowties" and choosing the right hardwood as to be strong enough to do the job as only that narrow bit is the strength of the union.

      To our beloved critics:
