Description
For anyone who enjoys creating things from found wood, this book shows how to make practical and decorative household items from twigs, sticks, fallen trees and branches, and wood scraps, requiring only a few tools and basic tool skills.
To get you started, the author gives tips on wood selection and describes how to sharpen a knife. He follows up with 35 projects for making one-of-a-kind pieces ranging from vases, candleholders and photo frames to coat racks, wall hooks, lamps and more. Projects with a playful touch include a stump checkerboard set (with versions for indoors and out), a mini croquet set and a stickman tightrope walker. Each has step-by-step instructions supplemented with color photos and a materials and tools list.
Simple, enjoyable projects for woodworkers new to the craft or for anyone who wants to introduce distinctive rustic accents into their home.
