Extract from back cover of book:
"Making furniture doesn't get any easier than this. With these step-by-step instructions and a few simple tools, my family and I made a bent willow chair - from gathering willow to attaching the last bender - on a weekend. If only ALL family projects could be this enjoyable!" - Donna Bankhead
The craft that Brenda and Brian Cameron share in Making Bent Willow Furniture has traditionally been passed down from generation to generation. Now with their illustrated, step-by-step instructions, you can easily master this age-old technique and create rustic willow furniture for your home, porch, yard and garden.
