Renowned rustic furniture maker Daniel Mack has created a richly evocative work that brings to life the long-standing allure of building with tree materials personally collected from the woods. A lively text and more than 250 photographs show how to collect, store, and dry wood, and explain all the basic tools and techniques needed to construct rustic furniture and accessories. There are easy-to-follow plans for making 30 appealing pieces, from a child's chair to a picture frame, as well as several classic projects from the early 1900s, including a picnic table, tree chair, and settee.
