This new paperback expands on the techniques covered in Shaping Wood. It covers
joinery relating to 18th-century furniture styles, as well as the demanding techniques
required to complete ornate period pieces. Turning and carving, as well as building
accurately, are all included in a highly visual format. Over 400 photos and drawings
illustrate the methods -- from half-blind dovetails to gooseneck moldings. If you love
period details and long to create them, you will want this book.

You'll learn about:

* Casework techniques
* Moldings and edge treatments
* Carved and turned legs
* Period chair components
* Finials and applied carvings
