Everyone from the beginner to the experienced band-saw user should find appropriate projects amongst this collection.

About this title

From Booklist:

It's a gift to be able to copy the deceptively simple lines and gentle curves of Shaker furniture. With a band saw as their main tool, Duginske and Morris illustrate, more than explain, how to fashion a variety of shelves, benches, step stools, tables, oval boxes, and chairs in the Shaker manner. Text is limited to explicit how-tos for experienced crafters, such as cutting mortise-and-tenon joints, using patterns, and adjusting a band saw and diagnosing problems. The black-and-white pictures are a bit grainy, and finishing instructions are negligible. Nonetheless, those well versed in the art of woodworking will become frequent users of this 30-pattern collection. A guide to Shaker sites and collections is appended. Barbara Jacobs
