I think this is a terrible analogy and doesn't admit the possibility that the master is able to build both kinds of tables - and that this is why he's the master. In 10 hours he can probably still produce a sturdy, simple table just like he used to. He now has the skill to take the craft to a new level.

The analogy would be terrible if I claimed to know which carpenter would produce a better table, but I intentionally left that conclusion to the reader.
