Out of curiosity, could you expand on this? Is it because of the scale or something else?
- jacquesm 7y agoCustom furniture is the work of craftsmen (and women) and something to be treasured the way you would treasure a work of art. Very few wooden structures such as houses or bridges would be made to the same standard. I have the privilege of knowing two especially gifted woodworkers and even though I'm sure that their work will stand the test of time it is not engineered in the same way that a load bearing structure would be. Form is almost if not more important than function whereas in engineered structures function takes priority.
