Country Furniture For The Home: The Living Room: Timeless Traditional Woodworking Projects

George Buchanan

The eight country furniture projects in this book utilize a wide range of woodworking techniques from hand-cut dovetails and chamfers made with a chisel, to turning on the lathe and French polishing. Step-by-step instructions, drawings, and color photos of the finished project.

Make a traditional sewing box, a Scandinavian armchair, and a space-saving couch with drawers. These are three of the great-looking pieces of furniture you can create with this timeless collection of rustic woodworking for the home. Every article of country furniture here uses hardwood for an authentic, sturdy feel, and with these instructions, woodworkers will easily complete any of these eight practical and decorative projects in no time. You will need to start with good quality equipment, including a few basic power tools, but nothing elaborate or expensive. And once you look at the photos of the fabulous pieces inside this treasure trove, you'll have all the inspiration you need to fashion a bookcase, hanging mirror, oak joint stool, side table, or bureau.
