4.0 out of 5 stars
Great source of antique country furniture ideas,
By Darren W Wilson (Kannapolis, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Country Woodworker: How to Make Rustic Furniture, Utensils, and Decorations (Paperback)
This book has an excellent assortment of photographs of antique country furniture. The pictures are very colorful and clear. They are great resource for those interested in recreating antiques. The projects were not that detail oriented. I would recommend this book for the ideas it presents through pictures.
5.0 out of 5 stars
