Great book,
By Cathy Lemm (Story, wy United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Gypsy Willow Furniture: Step-By-Step Guide to Making Rustic Furniture (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers) (Paperback)
How anyome can call this book garbage is beyond me. It is extremely helpful if you are serious about making a willow project. The step by step instructions are very helpful especially if you are a beginner. The pictures are clear and very helpful. I would recommend this book above all others and I have them all. Would really like to meet this author and thank him personaly. The only problem I had was finding the ardox nails recommended in the book.....

Great way to delve into making willow furniture,
This review is from: Making Gypsy Willow Furniture: Step-By-Step Guide to Making Rustic Furniture (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers) (Paperback)
Bim Willows "how to" book on making willow furniture is a great place for beginners to look for basic information. Easy to follow, concise, with many clear and helpful photographs make this book worthwhile. It has been a lot of fun!

An easy-to-understand course on how to build a willow chair,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Gypsy Willow Furniture: Step-By-Step Guide to Making Rustic Furniture (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers) (Paperback)
This book is a simple mini-course that provides explicit directions, through clear photos, for building two willow furniture projects. I can't think of any other treatment that would so clearly teach the contruction techniques involved in making this style of chair. Any reader can be assured that she will be able to create a perfect copy of Bim Willow's chair design through the use of this book. Further exploration of rustic chair building is dependent on the motivation and imagination of the reader, as general concepts of rustic furniture design are not covered. Other titles, (Mack) cover history and design. This book beautifully serves its purpose as a beginners guide to building that first rustic willow chair.
