Here are 44 handsome, authentic Early American designs, complete in every detail. From trestle tables and ladder- back chairs to benches, lamps, and mirrors, each piece re- flects the proud heritage that makes the colonial style a favorite in American homes. The author, a professional crafts- man and teacher of carpentry for forty years, has either supervised or built every project in this book. He has perfected his plans over many years, and knows how to take the worry out of work. Free from the need to make your own designs, you can concentrate on the pleasures of construction. All the necessary information is provided: .a complete list of materials .a carefully developed and clearly written set of directions .meticulously detailed set of plans .photographs of the finished product Gottshall favors the native American woods the colonial craftsmen worked with- pine, poplar, cedar, and walnut-because they are easily obtainable, relatively inexpensive, and infinitely workable. All the finishes recommended enhance the natural beauty of these wood grains, as well as the simple lines, balanced proportions, and unadorned surfaces so characteristic of colonial craftsmanship and so representative of the stark simplicity of colonial life.
