All the information is up-to-date and thoroughly researched. Excellent color photos by the autho= r and a clean, friendly layout gives this book on a classic woodworking subject a= fresh modern look. This clearly illustrated and photographed volume will quickl= y become the standard reference and is a must-have title for any woodworker=
