台灣仿古家具木料選用分析（I）－鹿港地區
An Analysis of Wood Material Selections on Classical Revival Furniture in Taiwan (I)-Lukung Area
摘要
本研究是探討鹿港地區仿古家具選用木材料源之分析，筆者嘗試以當時的、文化生活背景與木工藝發展過程的精神為基礎，透過質化研究的方式探討鹿港地區在木材料源選用上之演進，並進一步剖析在省產木料短少現況及進口材充斥下未來仿古家具選用料源的發展。其主要結果如下：（1）仿古家具業者使用之料源大都以舊料新作的方式製作之，省產材約佔91%，進口材僅佔9%。（2）消費者受傳統家其的觀念影響，對於材料選用、雕刻裝飾與做工的細膩都是仿古家具重要的賣點。（3）省產高級家具舊料或囤積料價格水漲船高，再加上仿古家其製作工資原本就高，因此成本居高不下，使仿古家具材料的選用與銷售造成叫好不叫座的現象。（4）不同材質的替換與比例、尺寸的改變相當不易被接受，所以到目前為止，嘗試者少，依循者眾。（5）傳統家其的製作，由於使用較多的雕刻裝飾或結構，材料的選擇上匠師們有其特別的喜好，對於從未使用過之材種，有所顧忌而少有嘗試者，對於進口料源在供應上之優勢並沒有影響仿古家具用料的選擇。（6）許多仿古家其製作師父因為找不到適當的材料來源及無法拓展市場，被迫改行轉業而人才流失。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the wood material resources used for classical revival furnitures in Lukung area of Taiwan. Basingon the spirit at living cultures background and the woodcraft development processes, two qualitative research methods are applied in investigating the evolution of wood material selections in Lukung area. Future woodmaterial consumption and resource development on classical revival furniture industries are also studied. Some main results are: (1) Producers renew most of classical revival furnitures by using wood materials acquired from waster old classical furnitures. The local wood supplied approximately 91% and the import wood used approximately 9% in classical revival furniture industries. (2) The important marketing feature of classical revival furniture were the selected material, carving decorative and fine woodworking, which results in consumers' preference to the classical revival furniture. (3) Due to the high cost of Taiwanese raw material, and the manufacturing cost, the selected material and sale of classical revival furniture are quite limited. (4) There are quite few classical revival furniture woodworker try to innovate in this range, most of them imitate and follow the traditional way to produce, because the difficulty of manage the new material, new proportion and measurement of design. (5) As lots of carving decoration and special wood construction are widely used in classical revival furniture: the workers are preferred to use some selected wood and hesitate to try the new resources. It would be very helpful to start to try the popular resources, to bring the classical revival furniture industry a bright and brilliant future. (6) Many people who are engaged in the classical revival furniture production have given up the job due to the more and more difficulties to obtain suitable material resources and to develop the market.
