Editorial Review

Building Adirondack Furniture: The Art, the History, and the How-To
- Book Review, by John D. Wagner

From Library Journal
The classic design and comfort of the Adirondack chair has appealed to generations of Americans since it first appeared over 90 years ago. Almost anyone could produce a copy of that chair by following Wagner's excellent instructions, which are geared to beginners. A profusion of photographs, drawings, and illustrative diagrams supplement the text. Also included are plans for other objects: a bench, table, leg rest, and more chairs. Wagner provides information on wood selection and finishing plus a history of the Adrondack style. Instructions for making a set of children's blocks using leftover scraps from other projects is a nice addition. Recommended for public libraries.Jonathan Hershey, Akron-Summit Cty. P.L., OhioCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
