Good Morning Friends,
If you are into making A&C furniture, which style do you prefer to make and why?

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones

CoolFor me I like transitional & traditional design w/ painting or w/ carving design because it's more artistic.

Hello Friend,
I applaud your choice in furniture but it is not arts and crafts furniture.
I am attaching a picture of the Arts and Craft style of the Greene Brothers.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones

I like Greene and Greene although I find them a little too streamlined for my taste. Roycrofter is probably my favorite. I'm building all the furniture for our house in a design influenced by that style. The mortising machine is my friend. Smile

Hello Marcus,
I agree with you on the Greene and Greene Furniture, though I do like it very much I don't seem to have the patience to build it in their manner.
Roycroft is a good choice as well as Charles F. Limbert of whom I am going to attach a picture of a tabourette that I duplicated in celebration of 100 years of his work.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones
