Gustav Stickley was a great man. The World would have not been the same without him. His work touches my life every day........He designed my house.

May God bless him.........and shine a light on his memory.

I have wondered had he tried his style in other species, not just exclusively Oak. Would things been different? Better or worse? Either way exposed joinery is a signature in fine woodworking, and he excelled at it.

What a great concise video about G. Stickley. I'm am currently building a Craftsman house (sadly with limited budget) but have always loved the Arts and Crafts style, got it from growning up in Grand Rapids. My most prized possession is what I think is a Stickley rocking chair. Thanks for the Vid!

Very informative video. I live in art and craft house and didn't know what it meant. Now I don't like a moron anymore!
