Just finished reading Darrell Peart's "Greene & Greene Design Elements for
the Workshop". All in all I found it a very good book, providing an historical overview of Greene & Greene and their collaboration with Peter and John Hall during the Ultimate Bungalow design days. The evolution of Charles' designs and the craftsmanship that the Halls brought to the collaboration was enlightening. A summary of G&G design elements as well as some historical perspective is provided. The book then transitions to some detailed expositions for re-creating G*G design elements in the modern shop. Various design elements including the cloud lifts, leg indent details, ebony plugs, reliefs, brackets, etc. are provided in great detail. The final chapters provide the interpretation of G&G by three woodworkers (one of them being Peart). If you are interested in the Greene and Greene legacy of the Arts & Crafts movement, this is a worthwhile addition to your library. For those who are interested, the book ISBN is 094193696-1 -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |
