No matter that quite a bit of time has passed since I first read this book, I continually find myself breaking off cattail rush when I visit the park. These are twisted on my walk and serve as a reminder in the car that I really want to get around to building this chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of three projects in the book, that chair is a exemplar of Arts and Crafts furniture and joins other (more complicated projects) to give you three great pieces of furniture to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the book is so much more than a furniture &#8220;project book&#8221; &#8211; I feel like Nancy has avoided all the tropes and built a book that shows a honest wide ranging set of examples that give some idea of the extent of the style. The history is fascinating and interwoven into the text and I like the way the entire book has been structured around Ruskin and the nature of gothic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any interest in this style at all the book is one I feel you must add to your library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"[S2-13] English Arts And Crafts Furniture By Nancy Hiller by Hand Tool Book Review\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F969788269&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=640&#038;maxheight=960&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am haunted by the Voysey chair.
