If you want to see some fancy-ass joinery, get a copy of Fine Woodworking's "On Making Period Furniture" and look at the article on Mr. Emmet's building of a reproduction Newport kneehole bureau.
He built it from a photo, never actually having seen one. I've been up close and personal with a Goddard original, and seeing how far Emmet took it, it's hard to imagine a there ever being greater American cabinetmaker than Emmet.
That man was some kind of skilled.
