This book is a feast for your imagination. The projects are beautiful and the finished pieces (I've only made two) look great.

My 12 year old and I worked on these together - it was an educational and fun project that gave way to more creativity.

2.0 out of 5 stars use nails to join furniture?, April 6, 2006

By 

skiwoman (Utah) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Bend In The Willows (Paperback)

This book includes a few not-very-clear paragraphs about motise and tenon joints. Not clear? for instance, it does not tell you how to hold your rolly willow branches still while you drill. Other than that, it expects that you will hold your furniture together with nails, or sometimes screws. To my way of thinking, this is not really furniture.
