Starting with the basics — selecting the correct wood and tools, outlining the skills needed — Wagner provides plans for 10 authentic replicas of furniture originally designed by Gustav Stickley, the man behind the Mission movement. He makes it simple to create endlessly satisfying period pieces such as a Morris chair, bookcase, couch, and coffee table.
