A great resource for Craftsman enthusiasts!, Feb 11 2005

This review is from: Shop Drawings for Craftsman Inlays & Hardware: Original Designs by Gustav Stickley and Harvey Ellis (Paperback)
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!

I've been tinkering with making my own pulls from copper and thought this would give me better insite into their proper design. But the book is poorly put together mostly inlays very little on the pulls just don't get your hopes up.
Listmania!
