2012-05-01, Mark,Faktycznie, reproducing a piece fhlatfuliy is how I got my start. On the surface it sounds easy but it forces you to look at details which would go completely unnoticed ordinarily. Even if you have the piece sitting in your shop, it's extremely hard to copy something 100%. Jasne, having it in the shop makes it easier to get molding profiles and dimensions correct but those are only a few details that go into the overall appearance of a piece. The hard part is getting the curve of a foot or cabriole leg just perfect. To get those cabriole legs rounded off exactly the same as the original might not seem like a daunting task but when you consider that slight changes can have a great effect on the appearance of the piece the process takes on a whole new meaning. For those of us who aren't lucky enough to have every piece they want to copy sitting by their bench during the process, we need to bring our knowledge of period design and construction to bear. Since most pieces that I copy are done so from photographs (and a few dimensions), thereâs a fair amount of âinterpretationâ that occurs. SzczÄĹliwie, no two cabinetmakers interpret all those details the same. This is where the designer-craftsmanâs design sense comes into play. Dla mnie, and my customers, thatâs what separates my furniture from the other small and semi-production shops.I copied a highboy made by Moses Bayley and Joshua Morss that the folks at Israel Sack had in their shop at one time (Sack, Albert, The New Fine Points of Furniture, New York, Crown Publishers, Inc. pg.185, âMasterpieceâ). Lots of other cabinetmakers have copied the same piece including one of the larger, well known semi-production shops. I say âsemi-productionâ because they only had thirty or thirty-five people working in the shop making as many of these highboys as they could crank out in a two week span then they move on to a different âproduction runâ. If you look at their interpretation and mine, they are two entirely different pieces with the same overall appearance. The connoisseur can see they are worlds apart. At some point, Iâll post some pictures of my highboy and we can dissect it for educational purposes.Chuck
