You are reading the forum of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers — people who build and study American period furniture.

Membership brings the whole forum, the annual journal and quarterly magazine, the members’ gallery and workbench, and chapters across the country. About membership

Hello, Walter.  There are plans for exactly what you are looking for in Construction of American Furniture Treasures, by Lester Margon.  There is a Dover reprint commonly available.  It was this book that got me started making period furniture.  A word, though.  The drawings are good, but a lot of the instructions on construction and finishing are pure 1940's.  Good luck.  PSP
