Wood

Objects worked from wood by hand craft methods, kept distinct from Furniture because the American Craft Council's own jury classification separates a functional furniture piece from other wood objects such as turned bowls, carved figures and general woodworking. Belongs here: woodworking as a practiced craft and its landmark tools, the hand plane and lathe, along with the woodworkers and workshops whose primary discipline is wood but whose output is not principally furniture. Does not belong here: hand-built chairs, tables, cabinets and other functional furniture pieces, grouped under Furniture.
