I know I may be really stepping into it, but what is it that impresses
folks about Krenov?

His style of furniture is not the kind of thing I'd have in my house,
but what impresses me is the same thing that impresses me about Marks:
it's all about the wood. He understands it, sees its depth, and knows
what it has to potential to be. He starts with the wood, and creates a
design from there.

That's what I don't like about Nahm. Nahm sometimes uses good wood, but
me might as well be machining his projects out of plastic or aluminum.

I hear you.

Which is why I never understand the whole effort to find some old, authentic
wood and then paint it. Leave some of that good wood for guys who
appreciate the wood and want to show it off with a good finish. If all you
are going to do is cover your project with layers of thick paint, you might
as well make it from MDF.
