I would love to add this book to my collection.
Country furniture is the best. They are simple to build, easy to constuct with my son, and heirloom pieces for the home.
My lovely wife is always asking me to make what she can't find. This book would a great asset to assist me in making what she's asking for. Thanks!!
We have a bedroom without a bed. I think the sleigh bed would be a very nice fit.
I love these add a comment giveaway contests! Keep them coming!
I have some pieces now that are needing these kind of companions. Hope I have a shot at the book!
Thanks,
Dozer

My wife loves this kind of furniture. I'd love to have this book so I can make her some of this type of furniture.
This kind of furniture
She would love for sure,
I think it is a perfect sign
That I build her a gift for Valentine
Having a couple pieces of country furniture, this book would make a great addition to the library and a wonderful resource for future pieces to go along with those I have.
Being from out west, country is in our blood and the furniture, is in our home. Thanks for the opportunity.
I've made some shaker furniture from kits and would love to try some from scratch. This book looks like a good read to do that.
Thanks!

An Ode to Shellac
Dearest Shellac,
What a wonderful finish you are!
Easy to apply, that ain't no lie.
I reach for you in a pinch, because clean up is a cinch.
The depth is outstanding, whether padded, brushed or sprayed
be it a cabinet or country furniture I have made
Safe enough for a kid
and I used it on my last project, that I did!
I may never win the Pulitzer prize for poetry,
but I am sure to enjoy this book on furniture and marquetry.

(Hey, at least I tried.)
There once was a drill bit in Nantucket
An old woodworker tried to chuck it
But it was rusted and dull
The woodworker damned it to hell
Then tossed the bit in the waste bucket.

(Still trying.)
Oh, a bed would be a fine project.
I am a big fan of this style of furniture. Sounds like an interesting book.
Count me in.
Sounds like a winner!
This looks like an excellent addition to my woodworking library. Whether I win it or not, I plan to get one. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Always interested in books on furniture making.
Put my name in the hat.
I am getting ready to start building furniture for my home and this would help a lot.
I need this book. Thanks in advance.
This would be a great source for inspiration and guidance.
This would be a GREAT addition to my knowledge bank. It would help with ideas and serve for extending the life of the wood I use in projects.
This would be a great addition to my woodworking library and would probably add a project or two to my " to do list".
My wife is in love with this furniture and it would be a great addttion to my shop library.
A little bit of country, a little bite of rock & roll.
Are ya allowed to make this stuff in town? I'll give it a try.
Sign me up. Thanks!
Looks interesting - count me in!
Would love this book! Thanks for doing these Give-aways!
Love country furniture and always looking for great books on it's construction.
Great. I spent nearly five minutes creating those poems and you decide to award the book at random.
Is "book me" an appropriate response?
BOOK ME.
sign me up for a copy!
Love that country stuff!
send me a copy
thanks for the book
Thanks for the win .
I consider myself as an intermediate woodworker and would
recommend this book to somebody that wants to try
woodworking but doesnt want to spend a lot of money on
tools.It explains what hand tools you need and makes
use of nails .The kitchen dresser is held together with
galvanized nails and glue.It has an interesting frieze
design around the faceframe which could be a challenge.
A book for beginners.
