About This Book

A practical handbook of mission-style furniture projects providing measured plans, detailed illustrations, and step-by-step construction guidance. It presents complete stock lists and dimensions for many domestic pieces—benches, tables, dressers, cabinets, shelves, screens and seating—along with joinery details and assembly sequences. The text explains milling allowances and terms like S-4-S and S-2-S, shows methods for fastening and drawer construction, and recommends fitting and sanding practices. Finishes are described with recipes and procedures (oil, shellac, wax, stains) and the manual emphasizes careful fitting, sanding and finishing for professional results.
