Furniture

Functional wood furniture built by hand craft methods rather than industrial manufacture, one of the American Craft Council's own discipline categories, kept distinct from Wood because a chair or cabinet is jury classified by its function as furniture even when the material and much of the technique overlap with other wood craft. Belongs here: hand-built chairs, tables, cabinets and similar functional pieces once a furniture-craft entity is minted for this atlas. Does not belong here: turned bowls, carved objects and other non-functional wood pieces, grouped under Wood. No entity is minted here yet; the category stands ready for the coming width wave.
