5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful guide to creating fun furniture.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Twig Furniture (Paperback)
This is full of great information. The projects are easy enough for a beginner. The instructions are simple to understand. I used this book for my 4-H kids. They made the lamp table and all received blue ribbons. The next year they tackled the love-seat and chairs, again, blue ribbons.

Making Twig Furniture is hard work & rewarding!,
By
This review is from: Making Twig Furniture (Paperback)
The simple elegance of twig furniture evokes nostalgia for our rural past & conjures up an appreciation of the natural beauty of wood. Half the pleasure is learning to identify while wandering the woods collecting materials. The other half is seeing a settee on your front porch that could have been there 100 years ago. This is one good book; clear instructions, materials lists, diagrams & drawings. If you're itching to make yourself some furniture or mirror frames or bark baskets & you can't persuade someone to give you this book, go out & get it yourself. Fascinating!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Totally unreliable measuring directions,
By Red and Blue (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Twig Furniture and Household Things (Paperback)
The examples of things that can be built are very interesting. However, when I followed the directions for the folding chair the measurements for some of the lengths of wood and the measurements for many of the holes that were to be drilled were totally inaccurate. If the author actually built this project, then the errors are in the review before publishing. Since there are no measurements on the drawings that are shown, the text must be accurate. I will try some other projects andhope thy are more accurate.
