The Dunlaps of New Hampshire began making fine furniture in the mid-1700s. Their distinctive tables, chests, chairs, and clockcases have their origins in the traditions that the Scots-Irish brought to the New World. Most Dunlap works are now in museums where they are studied by scholars, but thanks to the book"s detailed scaled drawings and Donald Dunlap"s construction notes, woodworkers can undertake the challenging proportions and ornament practised by the Dunlaps. The 14 projects are: knife box; one-drawer stand; card table; candle stand; folding stand; side chair; chest-on-frame; chest of drawers; dressing table; tea table; flat-top high chest of drawers; high chest of drawers with gallery; desk; tall clock.
