I've been turned onto G&G furniture lately but when I
built my sideboard there wasn't a whole lot of information
on how to accomplish some of the details. I had to rely
on a lot of pictures and one article from Popular Woodworking.
Anyway, Darrel Peart, a G&G furniture maker in WA just
finished his book, Greene & Greene Design Elements for the
Workshop. I just got my copy last night ($25 includes
shipping & an autograph from the author) so it's too early
for me to rate the book but there's some history on G&G and
the Hall brothers at the beginning and the last half of the
book contains templates, drawings, pictures, and instructions
on how Peart accomplishes many or all of his detail work.
If you like building G&G or want to start, I think this would
help a lot.

Be sure to check out the rest of his website. He has some
amazing pieces. If you get as good as him, maybe you can
start charging his prices.
