Great Furniture : 25 Inspiring Projects from Top Makers
by Furniture & Cabinetmaking
Paperback: 180 pages
Publisher: Guild of Master Craftsman (March 28, 2006)
ISBN: 1861084617 |
| Is it possible for newcomers to
furniture making to create original, extraordinary projects—beautiful yet practical,
from the plans of leading designers? Yes, it is—with this treasury of 25 pieces,
inspired by classical, Arts & Crafts, traditional, and contemporary styles. Each
project comes with detailed instructions, close-ups of each step, and elegant photographs.
A special feature: exploded drawings of cross-sections that peer into places photos can't
see. Some projects are small and quick, such as the rocking chair, cherry table, and retro
cabinet. Others use the same techniques to create magnificent works of art: a breakfront
bookcase, Shaker writing desk, and Victorian pivot table. Special tips help woodworkers to
adapt the techniques to their own personal projects. |
