    Rafael Nathan is a self-taught, professional cabinetmaker who has designed and built furniture for over 30 years. Passionate about hand tools and the beauty of combining woods, his work focuses on functional projects such as tables, cabinets, and accessories, including boxes and trays. For Raf, one the key components in the journey of woodworking is the knowledge obtained – what works and what doesn’t – during the construction of every project. Raf currently runs a workshop in Australia near Brisbane and is the former co-publisher of the leading woodwork magazine, Australian Wood Review.

    For a woodworker, there's nothing more satisfying than building a project that adds beauty and function to a busy home: the stunning cutting board used every night in the kitchen, the elegant and helpful end-table next to the bed, or the handsome coffee table that proudly serves in the living room. Ultimately, it's the handmade pieces of furniture that become the family heirlooms for generations to come. With Handmade Furniture by Rafael Nathan, a professional cabinetmaker and the editor of Australian Woodworker Magazine, woodworkers of all skill levels will discover 21 beautiful projects that will be a welcome and proud addition in any room in the house. Ranging from boxes and trays to tables and cabinets, the stylish yet straightforward projects require only a limited number of hand and power tools and will enhance a woodworker's joinery abilities as they progress from biscuits and dowels to dovetail and mortise and tenon joints. With the thoroughly documented, expert step-by-step instructions, and the helpful cutting lists, illustrations, and photographs, woodworkers from new to old are guaranteed to successfully build handmade furniture that will last a lifetime.

    Previously released in Australia, this lovely collection of projects harks from down under—Nathan, an author and professional woodworker, is the former copublisher of the Australian Wood Review magazine. The designs include trays, tables, storage, and cabinets. There are a number of beautiful pieces not seen in other collections; some of the tables show a distinct Asian influence and are unusual. Skill with a wide selection of woodworking tools is assumed, as is technique and facility with special applications, so none of these plans are appropriate for novices. The book's organization is progressive, and large photographs highlight detail work, but the instruction is text-based. While a cutting list is included, a full catalog of equipment and supplies would be handy. Native Australian woods are used without recommendations for substitution. VERDICT Skilled woodworkers will appreciate this collection. Nathan is clearly passionate about design and materials, and it shows in the instruction. A solid choice where the serious woodworker needs something different.
