Driftwood Furniture: Practical Projects for Your Home and Garden

From the beach to the backyard

Driftwood is an ideal building material. It is abundant, renewable and (best of all) free. It is easy to work with, does not require complicated tools and the results are guaranteed to be unique since no two pieces of driftwood are the same.

Using driftwood adds to the rustic setting of any garden or patio. Because of the natural process that creates driftwood, it requires no finishes and it is naturally waterproof and bug-free. Author Derek Douglas shows how to construct beautiful and useful chairs, tables, benches, arbors, and decorative objects. Nineteen projects are featured that will appeal to novice and experienced woodworkers alike.

The book explains the entire process of creating a driftwood item from how to choose and store driftwood to design tips and the final construction. The necessary materials and tools are fully listed and most are found in the average toolbox.

Each clearly illustrated project in Driftwood Furniture is fully explained with valuable tips and practical advice. The results are fun, whimsical and durable.

Projects include:

  • Adirondack chair
  • Sleigh planter
  • Boat planter
  • 3-legged and 4-legged chair
  • Tricycle planter
  • Hanging flower pot holder
  • Hooded chair

King Driftwood

Written with current events in mind, the latest poems from Welsh poet Robert Minhinnick display his keen awareness of both climate change and the current situation in the Middle East. Drawing upon the poet's firsthand travels in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Argentina, and his 25 years in the environmental movement, these volatile poems address the political and environmental destruction wrought by the ongoing war in Iraq. Full of vigorous musicality and rhythmic energy, these poems introduce a cast of memorable characters—from treasure-hunters and drug dealers to ancient Celtic warriors and eccentrics from the local funfair.

Driftwood
Can a man live and love intensely without being crushed under the weight of his feelings? Like Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being, debut author Norman Ollestad's Driftwood plumbs the agony and ecstasy of pursuing romantic love. Abandoned by his wife after quitting his job as an attorney, Woody lives in a beach shack with his Labrador retriever Coltrane–his spiritual advisor and the colorful narrator of Driftwood. Woody’s carefree life of riding the transcendent California waves turns tumultuous when he investigates a mysterious theft on the beach and soon finds himself entangled with two different women–effervescent Anna, and the artfully seductive Ingrid. Through Coltrane’s witty voice, we are taken on a spiritual and psychological journey across mythic, sun-soaked Malibu. Can Woody solve the crime and satisfy his heart? Insightful and profound, Driftwood is a California classic for anyone who has ever lost love and hopes to find it again..
