Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
Illustrated Guide to Building Period Furniture and Building 18th Century American Furniture and Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) are the same book. I bought the tree at the same time not knowing that.

This is a racket.

This review is from: Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
I own this book and "Building Fine Furniture" (also by Glen Huey). They are both very detailed, providing complete cut lists, exploded diagrams of each piece, and thorough instructions with plenty of pictures.

I haven't built any of the pieces in the book, but I've use several of the techniques described in other pieces.
