Found a gem in this one.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chairs and Beds (Fine Woodworking On) (Paperback)
I got this for a few bucks from a reseller. It was well worth the cost. I enjoyed the chapter on green wood workings since I want to do some steam bending and post and rung style chairs. I found that the very low tech approach was nice. It convinced me that I must build a good shave horse. Heck it convinced me that an entire chair can be made without a lathe. After that I did it myself with just a table saw, two spoke shaves and a drill. My friends were shocked.
