This splendid book describes and illustrates in detail how the Shakers designed, built, and finished their furniture and household articles. With its detailed text as well as over 250 photographs and measured drawings for over 80 classic pieces, it offers woodworkers and furniture enthusiasts a practical guide to the essentials of replicating a broad range of designs long admired for their sturdy practicality and their spare, elegant beauty.
The book first chronicles and describes the Shaker movement and the Shaker way of living, worshiping, and working. It then explores the Shaker approach to furniture design (from chests and chairs to boxes and baskets), construction (including all joinery techniques), and finishing (including recipes for finishes).
Three important sections of the book depict dozens of classic Shaker designs, complete with measured drawings. The designs include Shaker "smallcraft" such as a cutting board, scoop, candle sconce, peg-leg footstool and towel rack; more substantial "utility designs" such as a dough bin, cradle, dry sink, butcher block, and bonnet box; and furniture classics such as a Harvard trestle table, maple chair, lap desk, sewing chest, rocking chair, bed, settee and chest of drawers -- each in its own distinctive way defining the simple, practical grace of Shaker design.

Must have!
This bag is stunning. High quality. It also has a beautiful gold chain. Totally dressed up my outfit for a evening in Nashville. So many compliments.

Very pretty
This clutch is very pretty. Definitely a "going out" to an event clutch/bag. The silver handle and chain are beautiful. My only struggle is the size. You cannot fit a lot of stuff in here. But, this would be a "special event" bag, so, you really aren't going to walk around with your every day necessities in this bag. You can fit a cell phone, lipstick, a super slim credit card holder, that hold a credit card/s and bank card/s. If you try to put more things in here, it will not close. I do still recommend 100%. It's a really, really pretty bag.

I returned it
Cute purse, but the material used was cheap-looking. The storage and size were great, but the material .... not so good.

Cute and high quality
Color: Cream
I love this purse- I have it in cream and gold. It looks high quality and has held up well with lots of use. Big enough to fit a decent amount of things inside.
