The largest section showcases work by members and guests who attended The Furniture Society's annual 2010 conference, held in Cambridge, Mass. Other sections offer galleries of outdoor furniture, a juried exhibit, pieces made with historical woods, and a selection of juried student work, all from the 2010 conference. Each section opens with a brief introduction. The book includes a list of members of The Furniture Society and guest exhibitors.
