easy wood projects - Furniture I Love Tom Loeser Edition

Ok, I dont love all of Tom Loesers furniture. I love some of it and hate some of it. Maybe that means hes getting somewhere. I found out about Tom Loeser from an article in the current (December/January 2009) edition of American Craft Magazine. Call it gimmicky, call it academic, call it too clever by half, call it anything you want -- but you have to admit there is a lot of imagination going on in his work. And it appears that the pieces are executed with solid craftsmanship.

Some of Loesers work makes me think about what constitutes a piece of furniture in the first place. Dont get bogged down in it, but thats a question I believe furniture makers should ask themselves from time to time. Thinking about it can open your mind to new possibilities. And it can help you avoid taking yourself and your craft toooooo seriously.

Loesers work can be seen at www.tomloeser.com. Theres a lot of stuff on his site. In his gallery section, be sure to look at the chests of drawers. I love the cabinets (in the first two rows of photographs) with drawers within drawers (and sometimes within more drawers still!). Ive thought of doing that before but havent acted on it. Drat!

Also check out the "forest furniture germany" and "flotilla" sections. You can find American Craft Magazine at www.americancraftmag.org.

I hope you enjoy Loesers work. Or hate it.
