Exactly what they thought was best. Like putting hand-sawn precious wood
veneer over a cheap substrate.

As biscuits are not structurally important in a glue-up, they wouldn't take
the time to put them in.

Is there anyone besides me that has a philosophical problem with using
biscuits? To me, having biscuits in a piece of "fine furniture" is like
using plywood for the top. Don't get me wrong...I'm no master craftsman
(yet). But there's just something wrong in my mind with using pressed
wood
as part of the construction.


I wonder what some of the old masters would do if faced with a modern
shop.
