Rustic
Garden Projects: 28 Decorative Accents You Can Build
by Dawn King
Paperback: 128 pages
Publisher: Creative Publishing international (February 12, 2006)
ISBN: 1589231554 |
| Features all-new projects aimed at
the hottest trend in garden and yard decoration-rustic structures and accents made from
green wood, soldered copper, weathered wood, rough cedar, unfinished iron, and other
common materials. The book opens with an idea section demonstrating how rustic structures
and accents can transform the look of a landscape. This is followed by a section showing
where to find green wood and other materials, and how to work with them. The heart of the
book is 20 plans and step-by-step directions for a wide range of projects. Projects include: rustic bird houses and wildlife feeders made from weathered
cedar; arbors and trellises made from rough willow branches; a garden bench made from
bark-on branches shaped by an ax; a garden obelisk made from soldered copper allowed to
weather; woven-twig garden edging. The projects are remarkably easy to build, and most can
be completed in a single weekend. |

sophisticated projects, including a decorative walkway and polished table, come next. More
adventurous artists can unleash their creativity on a "Garden Guardian"

Rustic
Garden Furniture & Accessories:
Making Chairs, Planters, Birdhouses, Gates & More
by Dan Mack, Thomas Stender
Hardcover: 144 pages ISBN: 157990355X
Publisher: Lark Books (May 28, 2004) |
| Rustic woodworking is a hot topic,
and a technique that continues to attract both novice and experienced craftspeople.
Through thirty attractive outdoor projects, two experts in this traditional art teach the
pleasures of working with sticks, twigs, and other found wood. No experience is required
to construct many of the pieces, and the many illustrations and color photos provide help
throughout the process. A beginner could easily make the simple woven twig birdhouse. The
Birch Bark Planter Folding Twig Screen adds decorative flair to a porch or deck. Other
favorites include an Adirondack Chair, a Rustic Loveseat for Two, and a beautiful Diamond
Rose Trellis. |
