Overview

From the beach to your back garden...Driftwood is an ideal building material. It is abundant, renewable and (best of all) free. It is easy to work with, does not require complicated tools and the results are unique since no two pieces of driftwood are the same. Using driftwood adds to the rustic setting of any garden or patio. Because of the natural process that creates driftwood, it requires no finishes and it is naturally waterproof and pest-free. This book shows how to construct beautiful and useful chairs, tables, benches, arbors, and decorative objects. Thirty projects are featured that will appeal to novice and experienced woodworkers alike. Each clearly illustrated project in Driftwood Furniture is fully explained with valuable tips and practical advice. The results are fun, whimsical and durable. * Illustrated throughout with 60 line drawings & a 16 page insert of colour photographs. * No special costs, tools or techniques required: even a beginner can tackle this subject.
