The Byrdcliffe colony was a short-lived but important producer of furniture in the American Arts & Crafts period of the early 20th century. This distinctive furniture featured colorful carved designs created by Zulma Steele and Edna Walker. Robert W. Lang, author of the "Shop Drawings" series of books about Craftsman furniture and interiors researched these pieces and has created detailed drawings for the construction of 28 pieces from Byrdcliffe, utilizing both original pieces and drawings.

Introductory chapters include the history of the colony, and the people responsible for creating this unique line of furniture, including colony founder Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead, Bolton Brown, Dawson Dawson-Watson and chief designers Steele and Walker. These chapters contain both period and contemporary photographs. The drawings allow for the construction of reproductions or a deeper study of these designs.

About the Author
Lang, Robert W.: - About Robert W. Lang Bob Lang grew up in the college town of Kent, Ohio and began working with wood shortly after high school. His professional career began building speaker cabinets for professional sound systems, followed by a few years repairing wooden boats on Lake Erie. An apprenticeship in a commercial cabinet shop in Cleveland followed a stint as lead scenic artist at an aquatic theme park. In the 1980s, he designed and created furniture and accessories, and exhibited his work at art shows and galleries across the country. He returned to the world of professional cabinetmaking in the mid-1980s, until he joined the staff of Popular Woodworking in 2004. Along the way he owned his own shop, worked in a number of shops creating high end work for the residential and commercial markets. He rose through the ranks and at the end of that phase of his career, he was managing and engineering projects that ranged in scope from individual pieces of furniture to multi-million dollar interior projects. His first magazine articles appeared in WoodShop News and Fine Woodworking in 1999. His interest in furniture of the American arts & crafts period of the early 20th century began early on, and in 2001 his first book Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture was published, followed shortly thereafter by More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture, Shop Drawings for Craftsman Interiors and Shop Drawings for Craftsman Inlays and Hardware. After joining the magazine, he wrote The Complete Kitchen Cabinetmaker and Shop Drawings for Greene & Greene Furniture, published by Cambium Press (now Fox Chapel) and Drafting & Design for Woodworker's and co-authored (with Glen Huey) Furniture in the Southern Style. Bob began doing illustrations for the magazine in 2008 and was promoted to executive editor in 2010. Bob's first self-published book in interactive PDF format Woodworker's Guide to SketchUp appeared in 2010, and a second interactive PDF book Building Blocks of SketchUp was published in 2013. Bob's printed books are among the few woodworking books published in the last 19 years to remain in print. His philosophy in publishing is the same as it is when building furniture, make something of the finest possible quality, and build it to last
