Description
In this guide, outdoor writer Alan Garbers draws from his own experiences with making rustic log furniture to show woodworkers how to craft one-of-a-kind pieces in this distinctive style.
Organized in two parts, the book begins with a section designed to help you get started, covering an extensive range of topics from safety in the woods and workshop to board-cutting machines, power tools for processing wood, joinery techniques, sanding and finishing.

The book’s second part contains projects including a slab bench, tables, beds, lamps and coat racks. Supplemented with color photos, tips and tricks, and entertaining commentary throughout, this guide is sure to inspire woodworkers interested in building log furniture or anyone looking to introduce rustic accents to the home.
