Description
The Shakers produced many improbable furniture objects that we continue to venerate nowadays. For the woodworker the fascination is incessantly rooted within the crucial simplicity of the work. Interest in Shaker design is as strong nowadays as it used to be when the first edition of this book used to be published in 1977, most likely stronger. This ongoing interest is the direct result of the inherent great thing about Shaker design—beauty that stems not only from form, but from excellent workmanship, a commitment to utility and a total working out of material.
