Build Your Own Log Furniture

Have you ever wanted to build your own log furniture? Here is a great book that offers a wealth of useful advice on the topic.

For a complete woodworking novice, this manual on building your own log furniture is very valuable. The authors, Dan Swesey and Les Smith, have written a no nonsense book with detailed information that walks you through all the stages of log furniture construction. It starts with an introduction to a craft that is not at all inappropriate for those who have neither woodworking experience nor a workshop full of expensive power tools. The plans are reasonably clear and concise, and the tools required are simple and fairly inexpensive. While the authors are thorough in instructing the reader, they carefully remind the reader to use their imaginations when building log furniture, to give it their own personal flavor.

This wonderful book provides a very thorough education in log furniture building, and should be recommended to anybody who loves the look and feel of a rustic bed or sofa, but doesn’t want to pay the high prices often seen in retail stores.
