Book Reviews of Designing Furniture (New Best of Fine Woodworking)
Book Review: Missing something
Summary: 4 Stars
I just about decided to skip writing a review on this. While there is interesting and practical information; it just didn't seem to really come together. Most of the Fine Woodworking books are compilations of disjointed articles about a subject, and I usually like them a lot.
This book is also a compilation but the title would have you believe they had added material to join the articles together into a continuous study of the subject. The result is somewhat disjointed and incomplete.
The value of some of the material is the reason for the four stars overall.
Summary of Designing Furniture (New Best of Fine Woodworking)
Designing Furniture covers every step in the design process from inspiration to construction strategy, including learning from established styles, creating plans for unique furniture, and choosing among construction options. The practical, process-oriented approach makes the subject accessible to woodworkers with no formal design training.Furniture & Carpentry Books
