This review is from: Making Classic Carved Furniture: The Queen Anne Stool (Paperback)

Ron takes you through every step in idiot-proof detail assuring sucess to anyone capable of following instructions and mildly skilled with tools. This book along with his two others, Making a Pie Crust Tea Table and Making a Chippendale Chair are a must for anyone serious about making 18th Century furniture reproductions.
