Mission Furniture - How to Make It

Popular Mechanics books on Mission furniture appeared from 1909 until 1912 when Mission furniture was in its heyday. Although these books were originally sold as three separate books, we have combined them into one. Together they detail 104 furniture projects, covering a wide range of chairs, tables, desks, beds and other usual furnishings, but also less expected items such as wastepaper baskets, clocks, music stands, and even a porch swing. Mission furniture has had a substantial revival in recent years and this book covers a broader range than any other on the market. The general approach of the book is to give a cutting list and measured drawings of each piece as well as the general order of work, with tips on finishing included. An excellent book for anyone contemplating making this style of furniture.
