FURNITURE BY DESIGN: LESSONS IN CRAFTMANSHIP FROM A MASTER WOODWORKER
Blackburn, Graham
2002 7000147 Unlike a lot of woodworking and furniture design books, Graham Blackburn does not just lay out the plans and dimensions and list the materials and tell you what to do. Instead, he discusses, in a very literate way, the basic tenets of design and furniture making, and writes with respect for the reader's ability to understand and succeed in designing his or her own furniture. He encourages the would-be furniture designer to work with materials at hand, not just the finest (and most exhorbitantly expensive) hardwoods, and treats furniture design and construction not as a goal, but as a process, using one's brains and one's hands to create one's own singular and pleasing furniture. An unusual approach and a very satisfying read! - The Lyons Press 1585746991 / 9781585746996

Furniture by Design: Lessons in Craftsmanship from a Master Woodworker
Blackburn, Graham
2002 02873626 This project book for the woodworker goes beyond traditional woodworking manuals to teach design concepts through carefully selected, hands-on projects that woodworkers build themselves. For the woodworker who is not content merely to build from preset plans, it offers instead projects that will show how the designs originate and take shape, giving the woodworker the freedom to build anything, with or without plans. The book presents a dozen different pieces of furniture; including a trestle table, a traditional glass-front bookcase, a sculpturally modern cabinet, and a throne-like gothic chair—each illustrated with detailed line drawings and a color photograph of the final product. Each exemplifies a different lesson in design, making the book a self-teaching course in woodworking and furniture design for both amateurs and experienced woodworkers. 138 pages published at $20.00. .
