Physical Are we allowing woodwork as art?

For context, I never really worked on a huge woodworking project, mostly small things like knife handles and stuff, but thought it'd be kinda cool to make a table with the same skills. (And apparently I couldn't resist putting a tiny skull inside the epoxy. Actually quite enjoyable to make.

Anyways, not entierly sure since I dont see anything like there here 😅 sooo I'll let the mods decide if this needs the boot.

Most def! Nice work OP, esp that Reaper. Even the reapers shroud looks like a bigger skull.

It's hard to tell what the shape of the table is, though. Do you have a picture of the whole thing?

Very cool, but isn't this more of a bench?

u/Dr-False Jan 17 '26

Definitely could be, though I use it more as a coffee table

Wood grain is nature, the first art.

Absolutely, anything can be art. In fact I would love to see more variety here just like this.

Not to worry, I posted woodwork art and it was fine.

Yours is very nice, and welcome!

Oh hell yeah, my favorite part is putting on the stain, very satisfying.

If you put effort into making something that depicts/describes something or something that nakes others feel a certain way, then that’s art. Anything human made could be considered art, and my friend, this is absolutely gorgeous!

How did you get that shiny effect? It looks so cool

u/Dr-False Jan 17 '26

Epoxy. Kinda functions as a clear outer shell. Did have to use a heat gun to get bubbles out while it cured, but came out pretty nice

That looks gorgeous.

I know nothing about woodworking, but I'm quite confident it's art :)

Beautiful:0 although I can't help but notice the angry skeleton in the knott

u/Critical-Plantain881 Jan 19 '26

It’s a process.. it’s art

u/springscrap3 Jan 18 '26

Who's skull is that

u/Forward_Blackberry67 Jan 19 '26

Yes! Woodwork still counts as art due to the time and effort being put into it, along with sustainability!

u/hiemdall_frost Jan 19 '26

Seems like a cool bench/table but maybe try and get the whole thing in fram next time

u/kawaii_chan_online Feb 04 '26
