Crooked Timber

Hello you. Here at Crooked Timber, beside writing about my sculpture, art & artisan furniture, I also include some social commentary, and other things.    Also, I have been told that I’d be best to write something nice in the opening paragraph, so I have deleted what I had written and wrote this instead, it’s the best I could do.

Seriously though, welcome to my website Crooked Timber and my Sculpture, Art & Artisan Furniture.  I’m sure you’ll find some interesting things and if not, that’s unfortunate, I did try though. Please click on the images on the other pages to take you to the detailed information and image galleries of all of my posts.

The name of the site is borrowed from the famous (translated) line by Immanuel Kant.  To what he wrote I can only add that I use this title as a recognition that none of us are perfect, we are all Crooked Timber.  And we have to be, because that “imperfection” is the inevitability of the property of infinite uncertainty that is the dominant property of the universe.  More about that you will find inside in various posts..

Creatively this Crooked Timber website is an AI free zone.  And so, with that stated, all of the Sculptures Art & Furniture in here are made by a human.  All of the words are written by a human too, and that’d be me.  Also, I would like to note that this site is an ongoing work in progress.  So it is likely to change on any given day.  I thought I was finished putting it together, oh the naivete.

And for those whom are interested in timber, or don’t know what chatoyance is, check this out, PZC Chatometry.  It’s my mate Paolos’ project in Italy, to which I am a contributor.

Finally, one thing that I am trying to promote here at Crooked Timber is Truth and Honesty.  And those are things that I like.  I like them because they do not mind scrutiny nor the harsh light of day.  And for the people and fact wreckers that try to silence those things, well ….. there’s a special place for them.
