Five Decades of Fine Craftsmanship by Christian Becksvoort You can download an excerpt of this book here. “Best known for his work in television comedy (Parks and Recreation episode “Ron and Diane”), Christian Becksvoort reveals a surprising amount of woodworking wisdom, culled from spending a mere lifetime singularly focused on his masterful furniture work, mostly Shaker-inspired, mostly in cherry. This book is an instant treasure.”— Nick Offerman, actor, author and woodworker   Opinionated? Yes. Informative? Absolutely. Interesting and inspiring? You bet. Not many woodworkers can claim five decades of business success, but Christian Becksvoort is among them. In “Shaker Inspiration,” 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
