This book contains 20 furniture projects designed by an expert woodworker. He calls them "heirlooms" because they resemble classic pieces that often are handed down through generations in a family, and because, if they are built with care and craftsmanship, may become heirlooms in your own family. Drawing on his long experience in wood-working and his intimate knowledge of furniture styles, Tom Jones has included in this book a remarkable variety of projects which range from simple to complex. Thera are English reproductions from the Queen Anne, Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton periods, furniture derived from Early American, Shaker, and Federal designs, as well as contemporary pieces that will blend with modern decor. From the standpoint of function, the variety is also great: three desks, two clocks, a wall cabinet, a coffee table, a bookcase, a child's chair, a terrarium table- to cite only a few.
