   I like the arts & crafts style as well - there is a magazine called Style 1900 (Barnes & Noble). Just tried their website (http://www.style1900.com) - doesn't work. Anyway, it may lead you to some designs, ideas, something, maybe. Their address is:   

   Style 1900:

   333 North Main Street

   Lambertville, NJ  08530

   Hi Jeff,

   For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to finish a G&G inspired reading bench and it’s taking me too long (to many interruptions and other projects) hopefully I’ll be done this month. Anyway I did a lot of research and unfortunately there’s not a lot of info on G&G furniture, but here’s what I found.

   Books – Greene & Greene masterworks, American arts & craft virtue in design, Building arts & craft furniture, Good citizens furniture.

   Websites of Furniture makers of G&G –

   http://www.floatingstonewoodworks.com/ 

   http://www.gallerywoodworking.com/

   http://www.furnituremaker.com/

   I hope this helps and good luck.

   Rickl-

   Thanks for the great links.  My wife was just asking for a Stickley sideboard this weekend.  I'm now headed in the right direction.

   Try this url for Style 1900 Magazine  http://www.style1900.com/SAboutus.html

   American Bungalow Magazine is similar   http://www.ambungalow.com/

   I have not come accross many references specific to G&G joinery and detailing in print, although Tom Stangeland did a FWW article a few years back concerning G&G which may be of some help.

   I will be teaching a weekend workshop and week long class in October on Greene & Greene at American Sycamore Retreat - http://www.americansycamoreretreat.com/

   Darrell,

   Thanks, I subscribed to Style 1900.

   As for the workshop you will be teaching, I'd love to come if only it was closer to me. I may impose on you a few more questions as my design progresses over the next couple of weeks, I would be most grateful for any assistance you can spare.

   thanks again,

   jeff

   It's not really Greene & Greene, but there's a maker of Arts & Crafts furniture in Berkeley that uses a distinctive Japanese influence in their furniture. My son has their bed, and the legs have a distinctive curve to them that is beautiful. You might look on their web site for some design insight. I believe it's http://www.berkeleymills.com. The name of the business is Berkeley Mills.

   thanks, the Berkeley Mills pieces are beautiful. I see in them many of the key elements that are found in G&G pieces, but I suppose that owes to the common influence of Japanese design. As I live in the SF Bay Area, I'm going to head over to their showroom to see these up close, and possibly talk with some of their craftsmen.

   Here's are additional links for arts & crafts design:

   Yes, they're strikingly beautiful. In fact, I personally like them more than pure Greene & Greene. To me, the cloud lifts are "interesting" but most pieces have "too many lines" to suit my taste. This is very personal, of course. I'm an Arts & Crafts lover and lean to more of a pure Stickley style, if you know what I mean.

   My son's bed is done in cherry with no stain, and it's gorgeous. They pick out some strikingly beautiful woods, and they're FAS, of course.
