Description

Here’s an opportunity to create something actually unique by the usage of woodworking techniques that are as “green” as it gets.

By collecting branches and logs, recycled lumber, or scavenged wood from old buildings, you’ll be able to build rustic furniture with a distinctive look — and a primitive, earthy charm.

But before you get started, you’ll be able to need the guidance of a seasoned furniture maker. And it’s all here for you in Rustic Furniture Basics — from professional woodworker, teacher and writer Doug Stowe.

An ideal guide for beginners, this valuable reference includes 10 diverse projects designed to teach you all the basic techniques you’ll be able to need to make a wide range of rustic furniture.

Here are among the projects you’ll be able to find.

  • Rustic white oak chest
  • Western cedar tables
  • Rustic chair
  • Slab-top coffee table

By following step by step instructions with detailed graphics, you’ll be able to learn every procedure — traditional joinery, cutting round mortises and tenons, weaving twigs, making a webbed seat, and much more.

In looking for the natural materials to complete each project, you’ll be able to discover a process that challenges your imagination in a new and satisfying way — as you tap into your own powers of ingenuity.

And by the usage of basic hand tools and low-tech procedures, you’ll be able to revisit one of the most simple pleasures that earlier generations of craftsmen enjoyed.

If you’ve got a cabin in the woods or a country hideaway in need of just the right pieces to suit its rustic character, here’s the book you want to make it happen.
