Explore Southern Furniture with Google SketchUp
SketchUp is a 3D computer modeling program available as a free download. With this software installed on your machine, you will be able to closely examine, disassemble and reassemble, and modify the furniture pieces from the book “Furniture in the Southern Style: 27 Shop Drawings of Furniture From the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts.”
The computer models in this download are the same models used to develop the book illustrations. Working with the models is as close as you can come to physically taking apart original examples of priceless antiques for study. You can also use these models as the starting point to modify these pieces or develop your own designs.
Download contains 29 SketchUp files.
