Ten new projects make this best-selling book of twig furniture designs, better value than ever. Making Twig Furniture offers complete instructions for 58 twig furniture projects, from simple picture... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Using this book, I made several of the pieces of furniture shown, I had to modify the backs and arms of the chairs since I wasn't using willow, but it was easily done. I liked the fact that it told you what size pieces of wood and lengths you would need to make the projects, it made it a lot easier. Of course if you have a big ice storm like we did, the building materials are no problem to find if you live in a forest!
Making Twig Furniture is hard work & rewarding!

The simple elegance of twig furniture evokes nostalgia for our rural past & conjures up an appreciation of the natural beauty of wood. Half the pleasure is learning to identify while wandering the woods collecting materials. The other half is seeing a settee on your front porch that could have been there 100 years ago. This is one good book; clear instructions, materials lists, diagrams & drawings. If you're itching to make yourself some furniture or mirror frames or bark baskets & you can't persuade someone to give you this book, go out & get it yourself. Fascinating!
A wonderful guide to creating fun furniture.

This is full of great information. The projects are easy enough for a beginner. The instructions are simple to understand. I used this book for my 4-H kids. They made the lamp table and all received blue ribbons. The next year they tackled the love-seat and chairs, again, blue ribbons.
