Overview

Transform your garden into a beautiful place to relax in and enjoy—not just to work in. These outstanding projects help you showcase your own handmade wooden furnishings in a natural setting. Where to start? Try the handsome picnic table and benches. Or the elegant post lantern and other lighting projects. Make some of the handsome box planters, tubs, and pots, and bring your garden right up onto your porch, entry, patio, or deck. More seating? Make the unusual three-sided tree seat, or the trundle seat. For your own pleasure, turn to the section on gazebos and pergolas. All the plans are simple—you make them with elementary joints, using ordinary power tools and inexpensive pine or other woods. All 25 projects are fresh and imaginative—you won't find anything like them for sale at any lumberyard or lawn-and-garden store. Each finished product is colorfully photographed in natural garden settings so that you can see exactly how it will look when you're finished. 128 pages (10 in color), 300 b/w illus., 8 1/4 X 11.
