Is this woodwork?

I stumbled onto this table on ebay. It is close to the singularly most grotesque piece of furniture I've ever seen. Whadiya reckon, is it worth the money?

$5000 is cheap. I have seen uglier pieces for a lot more money.

Of course it is worth the money. It is art.

I don't like that sort of thing, but as Wongo says, it's art, so it follows that it will evoke strong aesthetic responses, mine is a strong Yuk.

BUT if it had already been slabbed, it wasn't the maker who wasted the burl (and you can buy it to reuse the slab!!!). The fact is that it is woodwork, even tho' I don't like it,so I voted is OK. But I think, I couldn't give a Rat's Ring for it expresses my view best.

Hmm, I've seen something like that before somewhere...

Careful, that might be a forum member :wink:

No, it's not the one I was thinking of: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ead.php?t=9488

:D

I think for that sort of money I personally would rather buy a giant peg made from houn.....now thats art :D

cheers
BD:cool:

i like it. looks cool:cool2:

I want the peg....

$5000.:oo::yucky:

Tell 'im he's dreamin'.

Not woodwork. Not art.

Waste of wood.

What TL said...and a waste of a good burl to boot.

Each to his own, not to my taste at all, but someone will probably love it, after all the constructor obviously loved it or he/she wouldnt have made it. (I guess a few would look at some of my stuff and say yuk:rolleyes:) .Looks too plastic coated.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Doesn't do much for me but then again I am not very arty.:)

I think if I glued all my offcuts together in random order I could call it an "artwork" and start plans for retiring ......$5k for that ??....just goes to show a fool and his money can be easily parted huh

I was under the opinion that the same myrtle also grew in Victoria.

How can one man have so much talent!?

I hate that style of "furniture" with a passion! It looks like a rather painfully formed cow pat!
