Furniture projects for the rest of us.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Colonial Furniture Reproductions: Over 100 Projects With Measured Drawings (Paperback)
These are good representations of furniture used by average Americans during times past. Shea stays away from 'high style' pieces and deliberatly picks plain furniture that is either taken directly from museum pieces or 'new' designs based on this style. Everything from craft projects to a complete bedroom suite.The author is quick to point out that the best wood for most of these projects is pine, or native North American hardwoods. This is in keeping with the origin of these pieces - country workshops far away from the fashion centers of the day, and even further from the mahogany importers. Includes: A short history lesson, lots of line drawings, 'how-to' sections on building and finishing with hand and power tools, and a section on how to replicate a complete colonial room.
