Just yesterday I started a fire in a fire ring on the patio. I could not put too much wood in at a time. I ended up going out and adding more wood between each half inning while watching the Tigers play the Rangers (and win with a walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th). By the end of the day, I got rid of two 55 gallon barrels of scraps. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |

I have seen that thing up close and personal at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. I’ll be nice and just say it’s not my style. I don’t necessarily hate it, I just don’t care for it… And I certainly don’t think it gets to the level of what I consider fine art for sure. -- Manufacturer of fine quality sawdust since 1984.

I think I’d be more impressed if the scraps actually made up the structure of the chair, instead of being haphazardly glued to it. |
