3.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful photos accompany complete plans & material lists, September 14, 1999

This review is from: Building Garden Furniture: More Than 30 Beautiful Outdoor Projects (Paperback)
A beginner could enjoy the pictures but would not yet own the requisite tools for all of the projects. Completed projects rival area high-end specialty gardening stores. Contains materials lists, recommended woods and finishes, and easy-to-understand drawings. A pleasure to own.

3.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful projects, check for measurement errors in book, March 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Garden Furniture: More Than 30 Beautiful Outdoor Projects (Paperback)
This book has the most attractive furniture I have seen in any how-to books. However, when I created a garden bench (the back slats of this particular bench are cut to create a diamond shape of open space between the upper two slats and lower two slats) I found errors in the layout, (drawings and measurements) of the center rail. Either the rail must be cut lower, or the mortises must be moved. My bench turned out beautifully despite the required modifications. I will make other furniture from patterns in this book, but I will definitely check the layout measurements before I mark and cut--rather than assume they are correct!
