The projects in this book were chosen selfishly; they are pieces I wanted to make for myself, challenges I wanted to take on, and side trips to the less-travelled areas of the Arts & Crafts period. The issues and needs that original pieces of Craftsman furniture addressed are still with us, and making this furniture is an excellent way to both fill your home and let your family and guests know that quality material, sound design and good craftsmanship are still worthy values.” - Robert W.
