Measured Drawings of Eighteenth-Century American Furniture

Rating:
Summary: Not for the beginning woodworker
Review: This book offers drawings of some beautifully proportioned furniture pieces, including chests of drawers, highboys, lowboys, desks, a clock, tilt-top tables and windsor chairs. The author/editor give no guidance for cutting, joining or assembling the pieces. Judging from this and the lack of detailed templates for scroll work, and from the sometimes incomplete measurements, it was not compiled with the beginning woodworker in mind.
