This page lists books and other primary sources of information related to furniture restoration and woodworking that I have found to be invaluable. I provide these references as a service to viewers who may wish to further explore the wonderful craft of furniture restoration and related topics. This list is by no means comprehensive, and there is no association between the publishers or providers of the items listed and myself.
