"Cedar Chests, How to Make Them" by Ralph Flagg Windoes is a practical guide published in the early 20th century, focusing on the design and construction of cedar chests. The author, who had an instructional background in manual training, provides insights into not only the woodworking techniques but also the historical significance and advantages of using red cedar as the primary material. This book is aimed at craftsmen, students, and enthusiasts interested in woodworking projects that emphasize both utility and aesthetics. The book begins with an exploration of red cedar, detailing its properties and advantages for chest construction, such as durability and resistance to decay. Windoes then outlines various chest designs, accompanied by step-by-step instructions for building a simple chest and tips on finishing techniques. Throughout, he emphasizes the educational value of woodworking, encouraging readers to experiment with their designs and adapt the provided models. With an array of design options and practical advice on techniques, "Cedar Chests, How to Make Them" serves as both an instructional manual and a celebration of craftsmanship in furniture making.
