This splendid book describes and illustrates in detail how the Shakers designed, built, and finished their furniture and household articles. With its detailed text as well as over 250 photographs and measured drawings for over 80 classic pieces, it offers woodworkers and furniture enthusiasts a practical guide to the essentials of replicating a broad range of designs long admired for their sturdy practicality and their spare, elegant beauty.
The book first chronicles and describes the Shaker movement and the Shaker way of living, worshiping, and working. It then explores the Shaker approach to furniture design (from chests and chairs to boxes and baskets), construction (including all joinery techniques), and finishing (including recipes for finishes).
Three important sections of the book depict dozens of classic Shaker designs, complete with measured drawings. The designs include Shaker "smallcraft" such as a cutting board, scoop, candle sconce, peg-leg footstool and towel rack; more substantial "utility designs" such as a dough bin, cradle, dry sink, butcher block, and bonnet box; and furniture classics such as a Harvard trestle table, maple chair, lap desk, sewing chest, rocking chair, bed, settee and chest of drawers -- each in its own distinctive way defining the simple, practical grace of Shaker design.

MY FAVORITE HAND LOTION FOR DECADES
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This particular version of Vaseline Intensive Care hand lotion is the best on the market. I have used it for decades, and though I have tried to other brands, keep coming back to this. It moisturizes very well, is not greasy and can be used anywhere on the body. Highly recommend!

Moisture Without the Grease
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This unscented Vaseline lotion truly provides long lasting moisture for dry skin It’s rich but absorbs quickly & doesn't leaving greasy or sticky residue. The only negative is the T-shaped pump head — I find it a bit awkward to use. Still, the formula itself is excellent.
