Thread: Arts and Crafts Inspiration

    Arts and Crafts Inspiration

    There are a few woodworkers out there that manage to stay very much in one lane of furniture style, yet keep it fresh and exciting. I'm thinking of Chris Becksvoort for Shaker, Darrell Peart for Greene and Greene, etc. Who are some inspirational makers in the American Arts and Crafts or Mission style?

    You might be interested in a book published by Taunton Press called Arts & Crafts Furniture, written by Kevin Rodel and Jonathan Binzen. It is quite good. It covers the original A&C designers and builders, and also has a chapter or two about modern artists working in the A&C style. There's really a lot of inspiration there for you.

    Stickley still makes some killer stuff. Take a look at their Mission Collection catalog (https://www.stickley.com/product-collection/mission/).

    Voorhees Craftsman (http://www.voorheescraftsman.com/) handles a number of makers that offer inspiration.

    Yes he does! I've enjoyed seeing his work in Fine Woodworking. A quick search of the Online version yields a number of projects.
