Thanks for the review of the book.

I have a couple “shop drawings” books of shaker furniture – I really like these, it gives me enough of an idea to reproduce, but leaves my imagunation free on how to do the details. Thanks for the review!

I got this book as a christmas gift and I really like it. It’s a must have for anyone who is interested in Stickley furniture.

i understand that this is one in a series of shop drawing books. They are quite useful if you want to build to original spec. They also help develop ideas for original work.

Good review – now I have something else for the shop that I want to buy.

Just ordered it….based on your recommendation of course. ;-) I’ll let you know what I think when it arrives. I’ve seen it around and it does have pretty good reviews.

I have this book and while it is great for inspiration, beware of the measurements that Lang has listed, especially chairs. Some of them are quite small. There is a second volume to this book and I know that the morris chair measurements are on the small side, unless you’re only 5’ tall.

Agreed, this is a great series. The pieces presented in the second volume: “More Shop Drawings For Craftsman Furniture” are also top notch. -Mark
