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).
