HunterL Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 So I'm looking to educate my wife (and of course myself) on the many different types of furniture styles out there. The vernacular I use like Shaker, Mission, Arts and Crafts, etc. means nothing to her, yet! What books or resources are out there that give a good overview on this? I'd love to find something she loves that I can use to inspire future pieces for the house to have some consistency in our furniture. Thanks all. -Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nginear Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Maybe one of these will help. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/12254?msg=welcome_stranger http://www.evenfallstudios.com/woodworks_library/woodworks_library.html#Furniture and Design and then there's a few search engines for old books http://archive.org/search.php?query= http://www.gutenberg.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I found this to be informative and useful. It includes expanded sketches of how various furniture pieces (not just cabinets)are constructed. Illustrated Cabinet Making by Bill Hilton, American Woodworker, Pub by Fox Chapel Press.
