The building of rustic furniture has been an American folk art since the first settlers arrived in this country. These people, driven by the lack of furnishings & sophisticated tools, fashioned crude tables & chairs from the materials at hand. By the late 1800s rustic furniture was more refined & especially popular with the wealthy. Once again rustic furniture has become quite popular. If you've seen this furniture in the shops then no doubt you've seen the hefty price tags they carry. Why not try your own hand at making some? Anyone with a few simple hand tools & some woodworking experience should be able to turn out handsome pieces for a fraction of the cost of the store bought ones. Until now the information on building rustic furniture has been lost in the past & hard to find. But with the newly published book "HOW TO BUILD RUSTIC FURNITURE" this information is once again available to you. Some of the pieces included are chairs, tables, swings, & even rustic lamps. "HOW TO BUILD RUSTIC FURNITURE" is available directly from the publisher.
