»Shaker Inspiration« begins with information that all woodworkers need - the nitty gritty of how to successfully make trees into furniture. This requires a firm grasp of wood movement - one of Chris's specialties - and he shares many of the tricks he uses to ensure his pieces remain sound through the seasons and generations. Finally, »Shaker Inspiration« dazzles you with three sections of photos and measured drawings. The last 60-odd pages offer a collection of Christian’s original designs, reproductions of Shaker pieces he has made and photos of the original Shaker pieces that have inspired him the most as a craftsman and a designer.
