treasure--put together great-looking and brilliantly simple
chairs, tables, screens, and more...in just a weekend!
A renowned rustic woodworker, whose love of the art is
absolutely irresistible, reveals the secrets of transforming
the plain into the exceptional. With his straightforward,
friendly instructions and easy techniques for cutting,
mortise-and-tenon joinery, and wood weaving, even the

all the other projects, from a four-panel room divider
to a garden arbor to a bentwood armchair, build on its
basic construction principles. Throughout, galleries exhibit
a range of work by professionals, designed to inspire
and instruct, and boxed features highlight pertinent information.
A very special extra: several of the most creative specialists
in rustic woodwork generously offer their personal time-tested
tips on finishing, the best tools, and safety procedures.
