A woodworking compendium, by Drew Langsner. This fundamental work is far more than a guide to chairs. It expertly describes the selection and preparation of the required tools and equipment, sourcing, splitting and storing the wood, right through to making spokes, frame parts and seat surfaces. A wide range of types of spoke-backed chairs, Windsor chairs, American country-house designs, stools with woven seats, children’s chairs, benches etc. are presented as projects. Instructions for making a sturdy joiner’s bench, a carving bench, a steam chamber, and a foot-operated woodturning bench complete this technical book which is a valuable aid for any woodworker.
