SynopsisThis beautifully presented collection from Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazine features 25 original projects conceived and presented here by some of the most respected names in the industry. Organised into four sections, this book represents each of the major styles of furniture design: Classical, Arts & Crafts, Traditional and Contemporary; making it an invaluable sourcebook for the amateur furniture maker who is eager to expand their knowledge and try new ideas., 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.
