Simple, sustainable, and affordable bentwood projects to beautify your yard.  

Nothing combines natural beauty and functionality more gracefully than a rustic bentwood trellis, arbor, gate, or fence for your outdoor space. With clear illustrated step-by-step instructions you’ll learn how to collect limbs from a wide variety of native trees as a part of routine pruning and then use those limbs to make beautiful, sturdy bentwood projects. A list of vining plants that grow well on trellises and arbors is also included. In just one day, learn how to make:

Butterfly Trellis with graceful curves and elegant latticework.
Stack of Hearts trellis reminiscent of the late Victorian era.
Gothic Arches trellis for small-leaved vines.
Golden Gate Bridge fence inspired by the famous San Franciso bridge.
Setting Sun fence that can be made using little wood.
