Extract from back cover of book:
Traditional furniture withstands the test of time, and for many woodworkers it represents the high point of furniture design. These projects from the contributors to Fine Woodworking magazine range from the simply elegant to high-style elaborate. Taking on the challenge of building one of these period gems will reward the maker with an heirloom that can be passed on for generations to come.
