Making Bent Willow Furniture

Amazon.com
People have gathered and used willow for many centuries in furniture of great variety and beauty. The Camerons have written a book to show anyone the proper ways to prepare willow, assemble and maintain the right tools, and learn the basics of willow-crafting techniques. They then describe beginning and advanced ideas and plans for baskets, children's furniture, tables and chairs, headboards, a fanciful "Gypsy Willow Chair," mirror frames, plant stands, and more. With lovely, hand-drawn diagrams throughout and color photographs of some of the finished projects, the Camerons have provided readers with all the basics of bent-willow furniture making. --Mark A. Hetts
