This book contains a detailed guide to the designing and making of
wooden furniture, including information on tools, materials, and
technique. The purpose of this book is to show a variety of treatments
for the design and construction of domestic furniture and woodwork. The
author has aimed at showing a wide range of alternatives, although, as
far as possible, work that involves very advanced technique has been
avoided. As such, this book is suitable for all levels of skill, and is
not to be missed by anyone with an interest in woodworking. The chapters
of this book include: 'Furniture Design and Decorative Treatment',
'Furniture as a Part of the Decorative Scheme', 'Furniture for the
Living-Room and Dining-Room', 'Bookcases and Caskets', 'Cabinets',
'Chairs', 'Chimney-Pieces', 'Clocks', 'Lighting Fittings', 'Radio and
Radio-gramophone Cabinets', 'Sideboards', 'Stools', 'Tables', 'Trays',
et cetera. This text is proudly republished here with a new introduction
on making and restoring furniture.
