Product Description

With an introduction by master craftsman Ralph Kylloe, this manual on rustic carpentry is a superb resource for woodworkers, furniture makers, and carpenters of all skill levels. Here are clear and concise instructions for creating beautiful pieces with unfinished timber, utilizing the unique texture and shape of tree branches, trunks, and shrubs. In addition, rustic woodworking requires few tools and relatively little skill to make decorative and practical flower stands, tables, chairs, gates, porches, aviaries, footbridges, verandas, tool sheds, and more. All these projects are included here with detailed advice on collecting and drying sticks; what kind of wood works best for various items; how to varnish both indoor and outdoor pieces; using battens and mortises to secure furniture; and successfully employing a range of other techniques.

Customer Reviews

Rustic Carpentry4
Learn how to bring out the beauty in unfinished wood-work. Whether you need a new table or tool-shed this book is tells you step-by-step how to build whatever it is you want to build. The illustrations are great, and even the most inexperienced person can follow along and become a master carpenter.

Victorian Style3
Interesting in a quaint, old-fashioned way. There are some good ideas for mortised and other joints. I think most projects in the book would seem labor intensive and time consuming to builders today. Still, a good book for historical perspective on "wildcrafted" artifacts for home and garden.

Not what I was expecting3
This book has some great project ideas in it, but it is somewhat lacking in content. I was expecting some better "how-to" information than the book presents.

Not a bad purchase, but it wasn't as informative as I was expecting.
