Green Wood for the Garden: 15 Easy Weekend Projects Using Freshly Cut Wood
Most modern woodworkers shun green wood, preferring seasoned,  milled lumber. But this was not always the case; many  traditional crafters used freshly cut wood. The prolific  Bridgewaters here offer a collection of 15 projects using such  wood. These projects vary in complexity, with a birdhouse,  trellis, or planter at one end of the spectrum and a chair,  bridge, or gazebo-like structure at the other. The rustic  woodwork shown here requires only the simplest tools and  joinery, which are covered nicely in a short introductory  section. The projects are attractive, with well-written  instructions, and in many cases design variations are provided  to personalize the projects. This title should be part of  comprehensive woodworking collections.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
