About Living Willow Sculpture
Product Description Willow is an exciting material to work with. It is adaptable, easy to work with, and it will grow in a range of soils. Its quick growth gives almost immediate results and, as there is a great variety of leaf shape and stem colour, structures look attractive throughout the year. Jon Warnes shows how to build a wonderful selection of decorative, functional and fun objects for the garden. From Library Journal Most woodworking plans call for cut, dimensioned dead wood. Warnes creates projects out of living sticks that are planted in the ground. The results can be somewhat absurd but are wonderful all the same. This fusion of carpentry and gardening is used to create a variety of chairs, an arch, an arbor, fences, and a dome. Warnes is from England, but gardener/carpenters could probably do this in most temperate climates. An appealing if somewhat unusual title, this should be considered for comprehensive collections Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. About the Author Jon Warnes developed a keen interest in working with wood after volunteering to do some coppicing work in the early nineties. Since then he has developed his woodland craft skills and he now runs regular rustic furniture courses at the Centre of Alternative Technology in Mid Wales, the the Green Wood Trust in Shropshire. He also runs living willow courses which include demonstrations on how to make living willow chairs.
