Shaker Inspiration Book | Christian Becksvoort

Opinionated? Yes. Informative? Absolutely. Interesting and inspiring? You bet.  Not too many woodworkers can claim five decades of business success, but Christian Becksvoort is one of them.  In this accessible and interesting book, he shares not only his woodworking knowledge and some of his best professional techniques for producing top-quality work, but also the business advice that helped him establish and sustain his long career in a one-man shop.  Plus, he shares measured drawings for 13 of his own well-known furniture designs and seven Shaker pieces he’s reproduced.

Whether or not you, like Christian, are inspired by the Shaker tradition, you’re sure to be inspired by one of the best-known names in woodworking.  The perfect gift for craft appreciators, as well as beginner and professional woodworkers alike.

This book has been called an “instant treasure” by famous woodworker and television actor Nick Offerman.
