This collection of 24 projects for the backyard and garden can be completed with basic tooling and inexpensive materials. It is perfect for beginning woodworkers and for anyone more experienced looking for a fast project. Build a window box with corbels, Adirondack chair and ottoman, strawberry pyramid, compost bin, trellis with cutouts and more! A whole chapter is even devoted to projects built with bamboo, and some projects are constructed from reclaimed or recycled wood (such as an Adirondack chair made from wood pallets).
