Wont Your Fireplace Be Jealous

The start of the year had come and gone with nary a word from the Furniture Project. Typically the promotion of their traditional February event begins in the fall. The lack of information this year had me wondering if the event would continue (and hoping for the best). Though it didnt make it to air, I even had the question "whats up with the 2014 Furniture Project?" in the show notes for the most recent Modern Woodworkers Association podcast.

Then, as if in answer to my question, the Furniture Project tweeted this teaser on Friday:



Today the announcement came:

The whole announcement can be seen on their blog here.

While I cant admit to being in any need of a Chimney Cabinet, they have succeeded in choosing a project which can be as simple or complex as the maker likes.

Additional information on the actual 2014 Furniture Project isnt so easy to find. Luckily its on the Rules and Eligibility form for entering a chimney cabinet. Here are the details:
