Bent willow furniture, an early American craft, was a familiar sight on the front porches of America until the 1930s. Now in an easy to follow, step-by-step instructional book, one of Americas foremost makers of twig furniture shares the technique. Starting with a basic arm chair, he also shows the creative possibilities of the form. Each step is illustrated with a full color photograph, making it easy to construct garden furniture for your home.

Summary: The book is well worth owning, the title is a bit of a stretch
Comment: I've got two willow furniture books so far, this one and "Making Bent Willow Furniture" by Brenda & Brian Cameron (Amazon has both), and think this one may just be the better book for the beginner. You don't get as much in the way of furniture design (there are three pieces in the book, the two most likely to be valued are on the cover)but for what you do get there is a lot of detail shown here.

Not as much information on the Willow itself as the Cameron book, the method of construction for the chair is very similar but simplified in some ways which will make it easier for the first time chair builder. Fewer tools are listed, that will help (and give a more rustic appearance) you get started as will a very detailed set of photos covering just about anything you'll need to know.

I'd like a few more details given to such things as using nails and cutting/storing the willow you'll use but think this book is really worth owning. Anything you don't find here the Cameron's probably have in their book but this one will have enough to get a chair done for you. I think I even like Mr. Willow's chair design variation a little bit better.

Summary: Great book
Comment: How anyome can call this book garbage is beyond me. It is extremely helpful if you are serious about making a willow project. The step by step instructions are very helpful especially if you are a beginner. The pictures are clear and very helpful. I would recommend this book above all others and I have them all. Would really like to meet this author and thank him personaly. The only problem I had was finding the ardox nails recommended in the book.....

Summary: Great way to delve into making willow furniture
Comment: Bim Willows "how to" book on making willow furniture is a great place for beginners to look for basic information. Easy to follow, concise, with many clear and helpful photographs make this book worthwhile. It has been a lot of fun!

Summary: An easy-to-understand course on how to build a willow chair
Comment: This book is a simple mini-course that provides explicit directions, through clear photos, for building two willow furniture projects. I can't think of any other treatment that would so clearly teach the contruction techniques involved in making this style of chair. Any reader can be assured that she will be able to create a perfect copy of Bim Willow's chair design through the use of this book. Further exploration of rustic chair building is dependent on the motivation and imagination of the reader, as general concepts of rustic furniture design are not covered. Other titles, (Mack) cover history and design. This book beautifully serves its purpose as a beginners guide to building that first rustic willow chair.
