- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part IV
by John Wigham. Only one form of American needlework is wholly American, without root or kin in the Old World; that is our pieced patchwork. Oh, patches are nothing new.

- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part III
by John Wigham. In typical Old World needlework, each detail is a particle of the whole; no part of the design can stand alone, whole and complete in itself. The background is solid, the pattern is formal, and a border encloses all.

- Cleaving Wood Part 1 (Or Making A Chair From A Tree Without Electricity Or Machine Tools, Part 4)
by Allan Fyfe. So far the tree has been felled and the trunk has been cut into suitable sections. The chair I am going to make is Project 15 in my series of furniture making projects; the back legs are actually 900mm high, so the sections of tree need only be 1m long (to allow for shakes and discolouration on the ends when dry), however I am going to play safe and go for 1100mm.
Some trees are inaccessible to ... products, articles, news
- Antique American Furniture Of The 19th Century
by Victor Epand. American furniture of the 19th Century was directly influenced by English and French designs. Not surprisingly, many of the earliest woodworkers in the United States came from Europe, and brought with them an already-flourishing industry.
