Stickley Craftmanship?
I just came back from my local Stickley store here in High Point. I
like looking at their stuff for inspiration and to drool. I was careful to inspect the joinery for gaps and noticed quite a few. Mostly where slats meet rails. I noticed several slats that had light shining through from the back where the slat meets the rail. Not to pick on Stickley, but I always thought they represented top quality craftsmanship. I think the Stickley brothers would be turning in their graves if they saw what I saw today. Here are a couple of pictures of a corbel in their Harvey Ellis bed. I also noticed a few pieces where they are incorporating Greene&Greene elements which I thought was odd. Why would Stickley need Greene and Greene elements when they have their own style that is unique? http://www.garagewoodworks.com/craftmanship.htm |
