Plans are for John Marshall's Desk. The plans are unused, no marks, notes, tears, or anything else wrong with them.
The late Carlyle Lynch (1909-1989) was an inspired teacher
of woodwork, metalwork and drafting. He was a furniture maker and author
with a lifelong passion for classic American furniture. Lynch took it upon
himself to measure outstanding pieces of 18th and 19th century American
furniture and to create detailed drawings so that the furniture could be
reproduced by woodworkers who shared his passion. The furniture items for
which Lynch prepared drawings reads like greatest hits of American furniture:
Chippendale table and side chair; Hellplewhite dining and end tables; four-poster
bed; Windsor chair; Queen Anne table, side chair and lowboy; Duncan Phyfe's
tool chest; and many others great pieces, including beds, clocks, cupboards,
desks and benches.
Lynch's plans are written in the classic style, hand drawn with
complex details distilled onto a single page with details and inserts.
Once you look at the plans for a little while, they will be easy to decipher.
The blueprints come with a complete bill of materials with added notes
on important construction details.
