Product Info Reviews

Description:

Here's an unusual approach to traditional woodwork styles written specifically with new construction in mind. Current building techniques and budgets seldom allow for the kind of lovely and appealing detail found in older homes, so much new construction today is rather bland, unadorned, and visually boring compared to some of the elaborate and beautiful interior detail of older homes.

Rodriguez offers a number of step-by-step projects to bring some visual interest and style to an otherwise uninteresting newer home, including a board and batten door, wide plank flooring, chair rails, fireplace mantles, door and window casings, corner cupboards, window seats, and even a charming and elegant mailbox post! Tools, materials, and detailed techniques are included for every project, making some of the simpler projects workable for even a beginning woodworker. --Mark A. Hetts
