Traditional Country Furniture: 21 Projects in the Shaker, Appalachian and Farmhouse Styles Paperback – April 12, 2013

At the right price, this is a pretty good book. I'm usually not a fan of books that are simply recycled old articles that were published in a wood working magazine. This book however is an exception. The paper is heavy gloss stock, there's plenty of large color photos, reasonably good plans and well thought out instructions on how to assemble the 21 projects. Virtually every single page and every inch of each page is dedicated to some type of useful information. I'd rather pull this book off the shelf than go searching through my old magazines looking for projects.The projects are nice pieces, they're straight forward, and vary in difficulty. While there are a couple of pieces that aren't to my personal taste, none of them look like some tacky thing banged together in the basement out of #2 grade construction lumber. I plan to build more than a few of the projects.

This a book I have wanted for some time. My wife and I like traditional style furniture in our home. I hope to get some good ideas from this book.

Very nice book, great pictures

This book is a great resource for building country furniture.

Great book, excellent condition

There are some really lovely furniture pieces in this book to choose from. This was a gift for my husband who cannot do the woodwork like he used to ,but he loves to look at the book and plan what he would like to do....( and get our friend to make for us, while hubby watches a couple of times)... our friend thinks its soo well explained and diagrams measurements etc, are great too. He photo copies the plans etc and then works from these ,as this saves the book from being damaged or getting dirty. So if you want a nice book as a gift, or to have some idea ofsimple furniture that looks good, then this is the book to try
