This splendid book describes and illustrates in detail how the Shakers designed, built, and finished their furniture and household articles. With its detailed text as well as over 250 photographs and measured drawings for over 80 classic pieces, it offers woodworkers and furniture enthusiasts a practical guide to the essentials of replicating a broad range of designs long admired for their sturdy practicality and their spare, elegant beauty.
The book first chronicles and describes the Shaker movement and the Shaker way of living, worshiping, and working. It then explores the Shaker approach to furniture design (from chests and chairs to boxes and baskets), construction (including all joinery techniques), and finishing (including recipes for finishes).
Three important sections of the book depict dozens of classic Shaker designs, complete with measured drawings. The designs include Shaker "smallcraft" such as a cutting board, scoop, candle sconce, peg-leg footstool and towel rack; more substantial "utility designs" such as a dough bin, cradle, dry sink, butcher block, and bonnet box; and furniture classics such as a Harvard trestle table, maple chair, lap desk, sewing chest, rocking chair, bed, settee and chest of drawers -- each in its own distinctive way defining the simple, practical grace of Shaker design.

Works great on Tooth Fairy Money
Color: purple, Color: purple
I bought this to spray money from the tooth fairy as a bit of magic fair dust. It takes a bit of time to dry and a bit does come off once dry but the pure excitement from my daughter is totally worth it! It's easy to apply and washes off my hands easily so I don't get caught. I love the bright purple color and it doesn't have that hairspray smell to it either.

Great glitter spray
Color: purple
This spray was exactly what I wanted. Not sticky at all and gave a really pretty sparkle to my skin and hair. The scent is a bit strong for me but not unpleasant and dissipated quickly. The only issue I had was the bottle clogged up within seconds after the first use, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

just get it
Color: purple
tiny sparkles, makes a nice purple "glow" to the complexion. pump it hard so it atomizes good and warn anyone behind you. it appears to be designed to cover a fair amount of real estate , not for detail work.
