Good, could be better August 9, 2008

This book was a bit of a disappointment for me. The articles are generally quite good, but a lot of the book is devoted to things other than chair woodworking. There are only seven chairs covered and three of those are built with round components, meaning, that out of 150 pages there are only four chairs where woodworking joinery is really explored. There are articles that are useful on caning seats, carving seats, making a slip seat, making stools and settees that are all good in their own right, but the questions of good chair design are largely left unanswered. If you are looking for a book on chair design then this comes up short. How high should a seat be? What is the typical relationship between the arms and the seat of a captain's chair? The book doesn't tackle these kinds of questions. On the other hand there are two articles that are almost worth the price alone; one called "Chair Making Simplified" and another called "Compound Angle Joinery".
