Reader Reviews
I recently built the Queen Anne chest-on-frame described in this book, and I found the plans and descriptions to be complete, but a bit challenging to decypher. This book is for the serious woodworker who wants to make period furniture, not for the hobbyist. This was my first attempt at a substantial piece of furniture, and I am pleased enough with the results that I will probably build other projects from the book.
