Description

Take a Step Back in Time with Easy Instructions for Building 18th Century PiecesThe end of the 18th century was a fascinating time in American history. With the end of the Revolutionary War in 1781 and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution seven years later, the country was embarking on one of the most radical political experiments in history.As the U.S. laid the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution, the arts began to bear influence of the era. The emerging style, produced from 1790 to 1820, is known as Federal.In this comprehensive guide, expert woodworker Michael Dunbar provides complete, illustrated instructions for replicating Federal style tables, chairs, beds, chests, mirrors, desks and candlestands.By addressing Federal furniture from the point of view of those who lived through the time as well as the perspective of the craftsmen who built the furniture, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, antiques and that era.For more expert woodworking guidance, be sure to get Mike's other books, Make a Windsor Chair (paperback, ISBN 978-1-63561-768-9), and Easy Woodworking Projects (hardcover, 978-1-63561-768-9), both published by Echo Point Books.

    • Good primer for Federal Style Furniture
Format: Paperback
Like the title says it’s a good primer for Federal Style Furniture. It has several projects including measurements for those projects.

    • Misrepresented but still good
Format: Paperback
This shows a publication date of 2019, but is simply a paperback reprint of the 1985 original. That matters because the publisher didn’t bother to fix/improve the photos, but left the low-contrast, grainy B/W photos typical of woodworking books of that era. That said, at first glance, the author does a good job of covering every aspect of federal furniture, including detailed drawings. Each project highlights a specific skill and feature—string inlay, edge-banding, rope carving, etc. Oddly, the one thing missed was fan inlay. This is so typical of the period that there are fans on the book cover. Too bad there isn’t a “Look inside” feature on Amazon. ... show more

    • Great book for the aspiring furniture maker
I bought this book to get an overview of federal period furniture construction after visiting the MET collection. The author has done their homework, and the pieces described in the book are stuff that's nice enough to devote some love and care to in the shop. Classy stuff, even though I prefer the Japanese aesthetic. ... show more

    • This is a no brainer - Mike Dunbar gets five stars every time
But then anyone buying Mike's book already knows this. It is a classic in its field. Information on Federal style furniture is getting harder to come by. Anyone know of any plans for Federal style end tables?

    • There are better books for the money.
Format: Paperback
If you are strictly an academic then maybe this book is for you. All the pics are black and white and often underdeveloped photos that leave you uninspired. Compare this to Tony Kubalak’s book; there is no comparison. The detail and color of every photo is engaging and draws you in to every project.
