I have been an admirer and kindergarten student of Shaker furniture for several years, trying somehow to make my hands perform acts of simple beauty while my head was still in the catacombs of California. I have built several pieces of furniture and have read most of the literature on the subject, but this work, by a young woman of extraordinary graphic expertise, comes closer to teaching me about the hand-eye-God connections than anything else has to this point in my education. June Sprigg worked with what Shakers are left (celibacy is one means of zero population growth), and has created a great book, full of detailed drawings, good prose, and a love of labor. Did you know that the circular saw was invented by a spinner, Sister Tabitha Babbit?
