This reference book for dolls' house enthusiasts combines a historical coverage of British architecture with the practical interests of modelling. The book covers all the major architectural periods from Tudor times to the present day.
The first-ever book on the suites of travelling furniture used by British soldiers over one-and-a-half centuries. For the travelling British soldier, campaign furniture - chairs, desks, and other items, brought the comfort and civility of home to life under canvas. Made to be carried on the march and assembled on site, campaign furniture reached an aesthetic apex in 18th- and 19th-century England.
This text presents a collection of work from eminent British professional designer-makers, and highlights the best of hand-built individual furniture commissioned by corporate and private clients from around the world. It serves as an illustrated reference for interior designers, furniture historians and students of design. Some of the designer-makers included in the book are: Mark Boddington, Clive Brooks, Williams & Cleal, Johnny Hawkes, Lucinda Leech, John Makepeace, Barnaby Scott, Andrea Stemmer and Toby Winteringham.
Bringing together a collection of designs that pyrographers can adopt for their own use, or for one-off sales, these 79 pages contains drawings and hundreds of original designs, tracing and adapting designs, transferring designs onto wood, types of wood, and colour and finishing.
This work contains 500 designs, plus ideas for developing variations, which aim to inspire and increase the woodworker's confidence and skill. There are projects for creating bowls, plates, teapots, vases and jugs as well as more challenging schemes, such as a chess set. Advice on safety is given.

The Jane and Arthur Mason Collection is one of the world's premier collections of lathe-turned wooden objects. This book brings together works from the collection, ranging from bowls and vessels to abstract sculptural pieces.
This book is designed to stimulate individual design ideas for the woodturner who has had some experience and wants to move on to produce his or her own projects. The book encourages readers to draw inspiration from a variety of sources, while offering guidelines and advice on translating that inspiration into new designs. The fundamental relationship between design and technique is explored carefully throughout the book, with examples showing how different design requirements have a bearing on choosing the best production techniques. In addition to covering design and technique, the author also explores proportion, function, unusual and sought-after timbers, sapwood and burrs, drying and finishing.
Features 118 lathe-turned shapes, divided into nine categories, each prefaced by comments about the designs included, and featuring notes on the techniques involved. The book explains the differences between the various categories of lathe-turned objects.
