Featuring accurate front, side, and top views, with comprehensive section and detail views, these drawings offer today's woodworkers a long-awaited opportunity to reproduce these furniture masterpieces, which have often been photographed but never before presented in such detail. Introductory chapters explain who were the Greene brothers and how they created their extraordinary furniture and houses in Southern California at the turn of the last century. Technical chapters cover suitable woods and finishes and provide solid information on how to make such characteristic Greene & Greene details as proud plugs and splines, breadboard ends, and cloud lifts.
