Great book, however a costly error in some project specs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Furniture of Gustav Stickley: History, Techniques, and Projects (Paperback)
I purchased this book as a guide to building a version of a Stickley piece of furniture. I have found an error that quickly became very costly in the projects section on the book.
The "Morris Chair" project materials list calls for lumber dimension of 37" by 5" by 1" for the arms. Next, the text of the project specifies "From the extra length of the arm provided by the oversize dimension given in the materials list, cut a piece 5 1/2" in length."
Well, that is where the problem lies. The FINISHED arm should measure 37" long. We just cut 5 1/2" from that measure, leaving 31 1/2" arm.
The materials list should read : 42 1/2" by 5" by 1" . At the prices for Quarter Sawn White Oak these days, you wont want to make the same mistake.

The one book to buy for building your own Stickley pieces,
By
This review is from: Furniture of Gustav Stickley: History, Techniques, and Projects (Paperback)
I have a number of books on Stickley; his designs, his history, and project books on how to reproduce the pieces. Of all these books, this is by far the best for anyone looking to recreate their own piece of furniture.It's not an exhaustive list of all the pieces, but it's a good selection. There's a good graduation in difficulty and complexity too, so any weekend carpenter should be able to start making high quality furniture. As well as the projects and plans, there are good sections on the history of Stickley, and on the cabinetmaking techniques you'll need to build them. Neither is (of course) a replacement for any number of other books, but both are just about the right level of detail for what you really need to know. If you're looking to build your first piece of Stickley, this is the book to start with.

This is the one "must have" Craftsman furniture book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Furniture of Gustav Stickley: History, Techniques, and Projects (Paperback)
I am a serious hobby woodworker. I have spent a lot of money on books on the Arts & Crafts movement. This is by far the best how-to Craftsman furniture book I have come across. I refer to it more than any other resource. If you want to build the real thing, this is the best single resource there is. This is one book I never loan.John Brock
