“Building Classic Arts & Crafts Furniture” gets a good review

Hot off the presses--my new book on the Arts and Crafts furniture of Charles Limbert.

Hot off the presses–my new book on the Arts and Crafts furniture of Charles Limbert.

Amidst the distractions of the holidays and the porch build, I neglected to note Chris Schwarz’s favorable review of my book on Limbert furniture at Popularwoodworking.com. He writes:

Author Michael Crow didn’t seek to provide a biography of Limbert’s life. Instead, Crow focused on the construction of 33 of Limbert’s designs. These designs are presented in a manner similar to Bob Lang’s great “Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture” books. There is a drawing of the finished piece, plus cutting lists and dimensioned drawings. It is all you need (if you know how to do basic woodworking). Crow wastes no space in telling you how to cut a tenon 33 times.
