Problems in Furniture Making by Fred D. Crawshaw

Fred D. Crawshaw's 1912 book, Problems in Furniture Making, is a treasure-trove of mission and craftsman-style furniture. We have selected quite a few excerpts from this excellent volume covering a wide variety of projects. Most contain two or more projects (e.g. Plant Stand and Taboret contains plans for a Taboret and for a Plant Stand, rather than a combined single unit).
