Summary

Contemporary furniture's great appeal comes from its simple, understated elegance and subtle details--from sleek black drawer pulls to gracefully beveled shelf edges. It's no secret that woodworkers love building these pieces! They're suited to just about any room, no matter what the decorating style. This book presents 20 original contemporary furniture projects, hand-picked from the pages of Popular Woodworking--America's #1 wood project magazine. Each one comes with step-by-step instructions, high-quality diagrams, cutting lists, color photos and detailed, easy-to-follow assembly techniques.
