- Used Book in Good Condition
The book begins with a chapter of detailed descriptions and illustrations of a variety of furniture styles - such as Shaker, Queen Anne, and Arts and Crafts - and describes the characteristics that define each style. A summary of the evolution of furniture designs, written in plain language, provides you with a historical perspective of each style's purpose and aesthetic value. That section gives you design ideas and helps get your creative juices flowing, while subsequent chapters provide you with design instructions, each beginning with an overview of the idea it describes and following with clear directions. These instructions include how to develop a design philosophy; how to apply standards of size, shape, style and function to your ideas; how to turn ideas and photos into working drawings; and how to select the proper materials, tools and joinery for your plan. You'll find standard heights for a variety of furniture so you can determine the best size; an appendix, complete with a glossary; and a list of suppliers and supply catalogs, to help you find the materials you need. The Woodworker's Guide to Furniture Design takes you from concept to product, teaching you how to get your ideas onto paper - and from paper into wood. Let this book turn you into a furniture designer.
