Rating:
Summary: Excellent guide to classical style, for the furnituremakers
Review: If you are some experienced in furniture making and know the basics of joinery, carving and usage of woodworking tools, this book will give you lots of good ideas for your projects. It contains some plans also, but there are only the most demanding phases experienced, those things, which are typical and special for the furniture of that period.

The book contains lot's of history and information about 18th century styles and methods. The most remarkable details of the book are instructions for carving chippendale ball and claw foot, very good information about hardware and lumber, how to make ogee bracket feet and very detailed veneering art (inlays and marquetry). The great book with great photos for experienced woodworkers, who appreciate the antique and old 18th century style.
