<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Introducing a new woodworking series in the tradition of Tage Frid...a series filled with essential information required by woodworkers today.</strong> For the first time ever, all the techniques and processes necessary to craft beautiful things from wood have been compiled into three comprehensive volumes: <em>The Complete Illustrated</em> <em>Guides</em>. Highly visual and written by woodworking's finest craftsmen, these three titles -- <em>Furniture & Cabinet</em> <em>Construction</em>, <em>Shaping Wood</em>, and <em>Joinery</em> -- will establish a new standard for shop reference books.</p> <p>Shape is critical to the ultimate success or failure of a piece of furniture. Knowing this, custom-furniture maker <strong>Lonnie Bird</strong> has taken the complex subject of shaping and in this book made it accessible to every woodworker. He guides the reader toward first visualizing, then drawing a shape, and then choosing the appropriate tool for creating it. <strong>Shaping techniques of all kinds are covered here -- from the simplest ones to more complex bending and carving.</strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lonnie Bird, a professional woodworker specializing in period furniture, was a contributing editor to American Woodworker. He taught woodworking at the university level and now operates his own school in Dandridge, Tennessee.
