I would say that yours is more Nahm inspired Functional, with a pleasing
touch of Arts and Crafts inspired Utility, but definitely created in a
"shop" and therefore more bourgeois... while mine has more of the graceful
curves of a Maloof inspired, "studio created" piece, more appropriate for
adding dignity to what would be an otherwise vulgar operation.


I had an plastic snow brush for my car which had a really comfortable
curve to the handle. It was the kind of handle which nestled firmly but
gracefully in the hand, making the tool an extension of one's inner self.

So I laid it on top of a piece of 3/4 pine scrap, traced it with a
pencil, cut it out on the bandsaw, rounded the edges with a rasp and
some 60-grit sandpaper, and put a notch in the end. I suppose you might
call it "Nouveau K-Mart".

I do like a nice glass of well-aged bourgeois with dinner, but only if
I'm done using power tools for the day.
