Actually, Art and Craft are Different

In regards to "Congratulations! You're an Artist" (November 2003): Don't be "MAD" at the newly named Museum of Arts and Design. There is a difference between art and craft, and it's easy to explain:

An artist creates designs, while a craftsman does the work to turn those designs into solid reality. You may be an artist and a craftsman at the same time (sequentially, actually): You're an artist when designing the piece and a craftsman when making it.

Steve Henigson Eastsound, Washington

Editor's Note: Your definition of art versus craft is adequate if taking a narrow view. In the larger context, some of the best thinkers since the Middle Ages have written volumes exploring the subject, and it's still not settled.

- Steve Shanesy, editor and publisher

Lumber Lusting in Canada

I got a kick out of "Lusting for Lumber" (August 2003). In my shop almost all the wood I use is "found" stuff.

I've recently completed building a harvest table made from two 2" x 10" pine planks that were originally scaffolding. I left those planks sitting uncovered but stickered for eight years behind my shop before I brought them in and planed off the surface scruff. Underneath, the wood was gorgeous, complete with worm and nail holes. The lady who bought the table is delighted with both the piece and the story behind it. PW

CORRECTION

A caption in the November 2003 "Woodworking Essentials" was incorrect. In "Jig Journal," the distance from the hole to the nearest edge of the router bit is the radius.
