    Woodworking Subspecialties

    by Andrew Davis

    Like other careers or hobbies, woodworking falls into varied specialties.  Lawyers have constitutional, real estate, tax, marital, patent, and other specializations.  Clearly, doctors are known for being specialists; just pick an organ for a short list.  Even athletes have chosen to specialize in a certain sport.  So, the thought came to Andrew after a recurring question was posed to him, to develop a list of woodworking specialties or subspecialties as he would call it.  When you read his list, you are asked to add any that he didn’t list.  So, I’d like to add marquetry and Japanese woodworking like Kumiko and Shoji to his list.  Have a look.  Can you add any more Woodworking Subspecialties?

    Andrew welcomes your feedback.


  • Posted Featured Piece of December 2023 "Art Nouveau Clock" by Michael Bossin

    Art Nouveau Clock

    by Michael Bossin


    This is Michael's first Featured Piece submission.  Among his other pieces, Michael designs and builds wall clocks (see his gallery at https://michaelbossin.com/).  Many of us design our own pieces from another furniture piece, an outdoor scene, a painting or other subjective image that caught the maker’s eye.  For this piece and other Art Nouveau clocks that he has designed and made, Michael was inspired by a book cover design in the “Glasgow Style” of the early 1900s.

    Michael writes about his process starting from this inspiration and the intricate details that follow.  There is more than meets the eye with this construction.  And, apparently, Fine Woodworking Magazine thought so as well in its October 2021 issue.  I hope Art Nouveau Clock is not the last submission from Michael.
