Summary:
When it comes to exploring the shadowy history of how 17th-century furniture was built, few people have been as dogged and persistent as
Jennie
Alexander
and Peter Follansbee. For more than two decades, this unlikely pair - an attorney in Baltimore and a joiner at Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts - have pieced together how this early furniture was constructed using a handful of written sources, the tool marks on surviving examples and endless experimentation in their workshops. The result of their labor is this book. It starts in the woodlot, wedging open a piece of green oak, and it ends in the shop with mixing your own paint using pigment and linseed oil. It covers aspects of the craft that most modern woodworkers would never consider.
Alexander
and Follansbee cover every detail of construction with such clarity that even beginning woodworkers will have the confidence to build a joint stool, an iconic piece of furniture from the 17th century. Joint stools are a fascinating piece of British and early American furniture. Made from riven, not sawn, oak, their legs are typically turned and angled. The aprons and stretchers are joined to the legs using drawbored mortise-and-tenon joints, no glue. And the seat is pegged to the frame below.
