Rustic Garden Furniture & Accessories: Making Chairs, Planters, Birdhouses, Gates & More

by Daniel Mack, Thomas Stender

Rustic woodworking is a hot topic, and a technique that continues to attract both novice and experienced craftspeople. Through thirty attractive outdoor projects, two experts in this traditional art teach the pleasures of working with sticks, twigs, and other found wood. No experience is required to construct many of the pieces, and the many illustrations and color photos provide help throughout the process. A beginner could easily make the simple woven twig birdhouse. The Birch Bark Planter Folding Twig Screen adds decorative flair to a porch or deck. Other favorites include an Adirondack Chair, a Rustic Loveseat for Two, and a beautiful Diamond Rose Trellis.
