Containing 15 woodworking projects, this book represents the work of some of the members of the Craftsman-style furniture movement, including Gustav Stickley, Oscar Onken and Charles Limbert. It provides information on how to choose wood and obtain hardware, what tools to use, how to make the joints, and how to apply a finish, including the traditional fumed-oak finish. Each project contains step-by-step instructions with measured drawings and a list of materials. The projects include: a bench and a writing desk by Gustav Stickley; a magazine stand by Charles Limbert; a book stand by Oscar Onken; a plant stand and a book case by Charles Limbert; a print stand by Frank Lloyd Wright; and a hall mirror and a hanging bookshelf by Stickley.
