CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Builder restorers review
Comment: This is a bare bones manual with simple text and line drawings but limited construction detail. It's definitely worthwhile for bulders of shaker reproduction furniture, Good line drawings of authentic specimens are hard to find.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Invaluable, detailed, comprehensive, and strongly recommended
Comment: The late Ejner Handberg (1902-1985) was born in Denmark, emigrated to America, and became a gifted cabinetmaker working in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for a good many years where he is perhaps best known to the general public as the man who helped design and build Norman Rockwell's studio. Handberg was a master of the Shaker furniture and woodworking style. Now his three previously published volumes on the subject have been combined together into a single volume and published by The Countryman Press as "Shop Drawings Of Shaker Furniture & Woodenware" providing cabinetmakers and antiques collectors with an authoritative reference comprised of accurate scale drawings of Shaker items ranging from Beds, sewing tables, blanket chest, school desk, and candlestands, to oval boxes, trestle tables, wall cupboards, revolving stools, and so much more. "Shop Drawings Of Shaker Furniture & Woodenware" is an invaluable, detailed, comprehensive, and strongly recommended addition to personal and professional woodworker reference collections, as well as the Shaker Woodworking Studies reference collections of antique dealers, collectors, libraries, and museums.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lacking Detail
Comment: I found the contents lacking in detail. The book does contain a lot of different items, but only the most basic details on each. I think some background information on each and maybe an actual photo of each item would help.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Collection
Comment: A good collection of measured drawings of many Shaker items, some of which are not generally available in other reference books.
