A Guide To Arts And Crafts Furniture Making
Arts and Crafts furniture making is a hobby undertaken by many amateur woodworkers. The Arts and Crafts movement occurred between the late 19th and early twentieth centuries and is also ordinarily called Mission or Craftsman style. The term Mission is likely the most recognizable to describe this type of furniture design. Some think Mission got its name from the fact that the furniture was functional, while others think the style was derived from actual missions in the state of California. Either way, this style remains one of the most adored for houses and furniture.
This furniture style concentrates on natural products and clean, functional lines. You actually will not see plenty of complex ornamental carvings on these pieces. Geometric shapes are big in this design style. Functional adornments are often crafted from hammered metal or wrought iron. Art glass is another commonly used material you will see in the Mission style home. If you are a woodworker who wants to attempt crafting Mission style furniture, you will need the right materials and some good plans.
The most typical sorts of wood employed in this kind of furniture making are cherry and oak. Lighter woods are not used as often as richer, darker woods. The beauty of these pieces is not in the ornamentation, but in the quality. You will need to ensure your wood shop is properly outfitted with the right tools. A good table saw, router, sander and power drill will get you going. You may also wish to use clear polish to communicate a glossy finish to your furniture. When it comes to the actual furniture plans, there are plenty of them out there from which you can choose.
Probably the best way to find Arts and Crafts furniture making plans is through books devoted to the subject. Because this design style is so popular, you will find lots of books available. One or two good selections for the beginner woodworker curious about making this type of furniture include Mission Furniture You Can Build : Authentic Systems and Designs for the Home Woodworker by John Wagner, Mission Furniture : the proper way to Make It by Henry Paradise Windsor, and In the Craftsman Style : Building Furniture Galvanized by the crafts Custom by Fine Woodworking.
