Summary: Enduring examples of the workworker's art
Review: The collaborative effort of furniture and woodworking experts Edward S. Cooke, Jr., Gerald W. R. Ward, and Kelly H. L'Ecuyer, The Maker's Hand: American Studio Furniture 1940-1990 beautifully displays elegant wooden furniture impressively enhanced with full color photography. Examining the original and distinctive nature of studio furniture in strict contrast to mass-produced furnishings, The Maker's Hand dwells upon function of these creations, as well as their qualities as three-dimensional, ultimately resonant, and enduring examples of the workworker's art. The Maker's Hand is a welcome and highly appreciated addition to personal, professional, and community library Woodworking, Antiques/Collectibles, and American Furniture reference collections.
