I wonder, Curt, if a furniture design book "By Hand And Eye" <https://lostartpress.com/products/by-hand-eye-1> would be helpful. Mr. Walker talks at length about proportions, which ones are pleasing, and how to come by them. I've found it useful in creative design work of all sorts, not just the furniture he talks about. One of the useful gadgets in planning design layout is a sector, a tool you can make or buy at a cost of up to $600 for an ancient ivory one! Several pairs of dividers including a proportional divider and a sector complete the tool set he uses for "awakening the eye" (chap 2). It has caused me to look at the world differently and appreciate the masterful designs surrounding us AND understand why they are attractive. DanK
