Smart projects that give new life to old lumber.
The Reclaimed Woodworker provides inspiration and easy-to-follow,
step-by-step instruction for beginning and intermediate woodworkers who
want to make well-built, stylish furniture and furnishings from
reclaimed lumber. Featuring 21 projects ranging from the ever-popular
sliding barn door to modern desks to chairs with vintage charm, each
project is designed to use upcycled materials without sacrificing style.
They are modern and fresh, but based on tried and true craftsmanship and
technique. Through the use of beautiful photographs, inspired designs,
and accessible building instructions, The Reclaimed Woodworker is a
comprehensive guidebook to sourcing recycled lumber and using it to
build your own furniture and furnishings. Because there is more to
finding and using recycled lumber than tearing apart old pallets, you'll
learn how to source environmentally conscious wood in unexpected places.
The icing on the cake? Once you know how to find them, these materials
often provide a cost savings over traditionally-sourced lumber. The
Reclaimed Woodworker is a how-to book, but it's also a celebration of
the creativity in reclaiming lumber and discovering the possibilities
for using it in your home.
