My most used reference book over the last thirty years and still in print.
Betty Norbury- British Craftsmanship in Wood
look out for our page! A great collection of the best craftsmen in Britain
James Krenov- A Cabinetmakers Notebook
James Krenov- The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking
James Krenov- The Impractical Cabinetmaker
A chance to investigate the true skills involved in craftsmanship
Alan Peters- Cabinetmaking, The Professional Approach
Alan is probably the greatest living furniture maker and a nice bloke, a must for anybody thinking of setting up a workshop
Robert Chapman- Woodturning A Fresh Approach
Another nice bloke and the best woodturner I have come across. An inspirational book, if you do any woodturning buy this book.
David Pye- The Nature and Art of Workmanship
I cannot agree with everything that the late Professor Pye has to say but it does make you think and examine your motives.
Charlotte Fiell- Charles Rennie Mackintosh
hero of Twentieth Century design, his influence can be seen everywhere.
The Wright Style, Recreating the sprit of Frank Lloyd Wright
another great hero and inspiration
An influential designer of the 1990's. If you do not know his work read this!
FICTION your chance to get to know me a bit better
Charles Frazier- Cold Mountain
Nothing to do with furniture or design, just a very good read and better than the film
My all time favourite, you must read this!
George Macdonald Fraser - The Flashman Papers - a series of books that gives a light hearted romp through the British Empire during the 19th Century - great fun
