One of the most widely acclaimed American furniture makers reveals his own unique designs, techniques, and philosophy for building beautiful, long-lasting, finely crafted pieces. More than 400 measured shop drawings (each to scale with designers¿ notations and dimensions) and photographs introduce each furniture type, and a magnificent colour section provides guide lines for constructing a wide array of chairs, tables, desks, stools, dressers, cupboards, chests, cabinets, and beds. Each one ¿ influenced by Shaker, Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton styles ¿ is rooted in the rich heritage of fine cabinet making that shuns ornamentation and emphasises the natural beauty of American hardwoods.
