I have always appreciated the best of all furniture. You guys know what I mean...when the entire piece is solid wood and elegantly done. However, how far should one take this? A great piece of curly maple looks great but is very expensive. Having a thin veneer attached to solid wood would be okay. But what about engineered plywoods. I guess that I am speaking a purist here but I am curious to other's view on this.
In short, when does it cease to become "fine woodworking" and enter the "glue and sawdust" routine.
