Rustic furniture basics, Stowe D., 2009.
 
   If you are a beginner, start at the beginning of this book. The projects are arranged in order of difficulty, and only a few common handyman tools are required for the early projects. Mix and match techniques between chapters and use the ideas presented in the variations to customize and personalize your own work. But don’t forget to look beyond this book. Go out into the woods. You will find the forms and textures of the forest to be your greatest source of inspiration. Then don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It is how we learn best.




Western Cedar Tables.
Western cedar is one of the few inexpensive roughsawn woods available from typical neighborhood lumberyards. When my wife and I bought our home, like most young couples we were on a tight budget and needed furniture. Western cedar came to the rescue.

These tables can be made so quickly that the joke in our house was that they could be made in five minutes. That, of course, wasn't true. But these tables, despite being quickly made, have been useful and beautiful for many years.

The roughsawn wood, complete with knots and imperfections, never goes out of style. When I later made finer furniture to replace them, we passed them along to others starting out in their first homes.
