How to Build Shaker Furniture

Clean, unadorned, beautiful design meant to last forever - born of a commitment to functionalism, Shaker furniture has a purity of line, integrity of construction, and respect for wood that has made it one of the world's most cherished styles. These more than 50 projects, which range from mirrors and trestle tables to settees and low-post beds, descend from that tradition, yet boldly reinterpret it for a new age. With over 350 photos and measured drawings, this detailed manual -a labor of love by a renowned cabinetmaker-guides you in detail through the creative process, materials, tools (both hand and power), and building procedures.
