1. He's hiding his right hand from the camera.
2. Most of the "gold" isn't real, it was created by South Florida cabinetmaker John Icart. It's MDF wall trim with gold spray paint. A few of the mantel pieces are real gold.
3. He's bragging about gold when most people are struggling to buy food.

Trump on the Oval Office: "You see the way this is looking. I can't tell you how much that gold costs. A lot of money. This beautiful office needed it."

He was a great man but a horrible cabinetmaker.

An object tells a story about Rodin's relationships. Kichizô Inagaki (1876–1951), Japanese sculptor/cabinetmaker, Parisian, made this walnut frame. Joseph Altounian (1889-1954), the dealer who helped Rodin acquire the limestone relief, which we can read about here: rodinsegypt.com/collecting

I had no idea until right now that I need a 17th C Booby Chair. My dad was a cabinetmaker & he taught me to study a quadruped & how it was made. I love a good seat!
The affectionately named ‘Booby’ chair at All Saints Loughborough. Has the date 1661 in the top corners and the initials EH. Shows a topless angel (it has wings if you look) and a church with a spire, although All Saints didn’t have a spire (as far as I know). Fascinating #woodensday

Why is it that so many people think artists should give them free art? I taught at a university but people never emailed me asking for free tuition. My father was a cabinetmaker and the number of people who expected free work from him was absurd.
Like everyone else, artists need money to live.

[8] The grand old ladies left my dad their 18th C furniture as he always admired it. He was a cabinetmaker. It was a truly beautiful gift but it broke his heart. These ladies, down on their uppers, once gentry, had polished each heirloom til it shone.

Anyone who loves timber & supreme craftsmanship has to love Gibbons. His work is amongst the highest achievements in woodworking. As the son of a cabinetmaker & a woodland ecologist, Gibbons really speaks to me. I’m in awe of his carving!
