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!

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...

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.
