Extract from back cover of book:
Arts & Crafts furniture and the Craftsman-style furniture of Gustav Stickley have enjoyed an astonishing resurgence in popularity. Here Blair Howard presents 15 projects for the woodworker. These projects represent the work of not only the most famous members of the movement but also of such designers as Oscar Onken and Charles Limbert, whose works are not commonly presented in other woodworking project books. Howard gives solid, concise information on how to choose lumber and obtain hardware, what tools to use, how to make the joints, and how to apply a finish, including the traditional fumed-oak finish. Each project contains step by step instructions together with measured drawings and a bill of materials.
Projects
include:
- Writing Desk by Gustav Stickley
- Magazine Stand by Charles
Limbert
- Book Stand by Oscar Onken
- Book Case by Charles Limbert
-
Print Stand by Frank Lloyd Wright
...Plus eight more projects.
All of the projects were chosen for their popularity, such as the book case and coffee table, and for their ease of construction, for example, the Stickley mirror, the tea tray and the Limbert pedestal. All projects involve basic construction techniques and will complement any home style.
Blair Howard is a furniture designer and builder. He is an experienced writer and woodworker living in Tennessee. This is his third furniture book.
