Fine Woodworking on Chairs and Beds

Back by popular demand, these classic woodworking titles from Fine Woodworking magazine are filled with first-rate information that is as timeless now as it was when first published.

Chairs are the most exacting, and the most challenging, kind of furniture to make. In fact, many people consider the chairmaker’s craft and art to be the very pinnacle of woodworking, And although there are no quick-and-easy shortcuts to making a good chair, there is plenty to learn from craftsmen who have mastered this difficult art. In this collection of 33 articles reprinted from Fine Woodworking magazine, expert chairmakers share every aspect of designing and constructing furniture for the human body–stools, chairs, sofas, beds, and cribs.

Since it began publication in 1975, Fine Woodworking has written about practically every aspect of the craft. The Fine Woodworking on… series organizes many of the articles from the magazine’s first ten years into individual volumes by subject. Each book in this series offers an in-depth look at a particular aspect of woodworking, from the perspective of skilled professional and dedicated amateur woodworkers.
