Furniture by Design is a project book for the woodworker, but one that goes beyond traditional woodworking manuals to teach design concepts through carefully selected, hands-on projects the woodworker builds himself. It offers 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, each illustrated with detailed line drawings with the final product in full color. Every project offers a different lesson in design-making. The book also offers a self-teaching course in woodworking and furniture design for both amateurs and experienced workman.
