One of the most widely acclaimed American furniture makers reveals his own unique designs, techniques, and philosophy for building beautiful, long-lasting, finely crafted pieces. More than 400 measured shop drawings (each to scale with designers' notations and dimensions) and photographs introduce each furniture type, and a magnificent color section provides guidelines for constructing a wide array of chairs, tables, desks, stools, dressers, cupboards, chests, cabinets, and beds. Each one--influenced by Shaker, Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton styles--is rooted in the rich heritage of fine cabinetmaking that shuns ornamentation and emphasizes the natural beauty of American hardwoods. Adapt them to suit your own needs--including some of Moser's most famous pieces: an inverted armchair; harvest and trestle tables; coffee tables; bowfront, cupboard, and slant-top desks; five, seven- and 10-drawer dressers; and much more! An indispensable source of classic design ideas and priceless drawings.
