Product Description
Shaker continues to be one the most persistently popular home decorating and furniture styles. This book brings together the best articles from recent issues of Fine Woodworking and Home Furniture journals on building furniture in the Shaker tradition. It provides background on the style, building instructions, and inspiring pieces in three main sections: Style & Design describes the historical background and its hallmark design elements. Projects & Techniques describes and illustrates a variety of pieces, as well as specific woodworking techniques common to the style; Inspiration offers a full colour gallery of fine pieces created by experts to provide readers with ideas. Unique: there are many books on Shaker style, but only this one effectively combines style background and history with practical building information. Practical: the projects result in attractive, accessible furniture projects. In full colour: step by step construction photographs, plus gallery shots of superb Shaker pieces.

Beautiful Furniture - but no plans,
This review is from: In the Shaker Style: Building Furniture Inspired by the Shaker Tradition (Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
This is a great book for Shaker furniture inspiration. There is some beautiful furniture and good articles, but It does not have any detailed project plans. Worth the money though.

Excellent book,
By Wayne Cease - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Shaker Style: Building Furniture Inspired by the Shaker Tradition (Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
This book covers the design elements and construction of Shaker styled furniture. It also lightly covers the history.There are several plans, unfortunately not the one on the cover. But, it should not be too hard to take what's in the book and create a plan for it as sizes are given. Some more plans covering the gallery items, especially the cover item, would have been nice. But, overall it is a really good book.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent book,
By D. Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Shaker Style: Building Furniture Inspired by the Shaker Tradition (Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
The book is decent on it's selection of Shaker style furniture and steps on building them. The pictures are a bit thin and the steps themselves are sometimes cloudy and not very clear. Over all, it is a good book to have in your library to have as inspiration, but don't expect too much.
