The best in the business.,
By
This review is from: Rustic Artistry for the Home (Hardcover)
Very well composed and illustrated rustic furniture examples on large high quality pages. Great examples from the best in the business, most being aquaintances and friends. My wife and I also live and work in the Adirondacks, build furniture and have an art studio, but not yet to the standards of these "guys".Mike and Marion Kratky Northville, NY

A Magnificent Visual Tribute,
By
This review is from: Rustic Artistry for the Home (Hardcover)
This coffee table book is a magnificent visual tribute to the rustic artists who dedicate themselves to creating "exquisitely handcrafted home furnishings and decor straight from nature". The photographs by the author are stunning and provide a rare visit to some multi-million-dollar homes. This is a wonderful book to display and to share with family and friends. As with all of Ralph Kylloe's books, the production is top-notch, the text is informative and thought-provoking, and the photography is awe-inspiring!
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Collection,
By
This review is from: Rustic Artistry for the Home (Hardcover)
This is an awesome book, documenting an amazing collection of projects. I'm a furniture builder, and the inspiration this book provides is overwhelming. If you like non-traditional furniture, this book will amaze you also. Ralph is a great author and knows how to pick and lay out a book. Some of the work in this book is so incredible, I can't figure out how the maker even did the work.Good work again Ralph! Mark DeCou decoustudio.com Elmdale, Kansas USA
