    For you Greene & Greene furniture fans

    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.

    All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible
