Customer Reviews
A great resource for Craftsman enthusiasts!
This book is a great resource for those of us who wish to see in great detail various inlay patterns in Craftsman furniture. Most photo-oriented books really do not take the time to focus-in on the inlay, leaving the details a blurry mystery. The author has taken the time to reproduce authentic inlays using Autocad line drawings. This is a highly specialized kind of book and I was elated to find it! Leave it to Robert Lang to give us the expert's details.
The book could be greatly improved by the addition of close-up color photos of the inlays the designs were taken from.
A great addition to the Craftsman movement! A 5-star effort!
Great Reference Book
I bought this as an inspiration for my wife who makes boxes. We both love the book and have come away with some great ideas!
A little more please
The title is as it says Stickley and Ellis. I was still hoping to find some Greene and Greene or Maybeck work though.
Robert has put many many hour into reproducing the details, well done.
It would be great to find the artwork in electronic format for CNC cutting.
The hardware examples all from Stickley and limited to pulls and a few hinges.
I found the text in the first part of the book informative reading.
