Rustic-style furnture plans?

[ed mirzay]

Hello all,

I hope this is the correct forum for this post.
I would like to find "rustic" style furniture plans so that I can try building a few pieces in this new style. I have traditionally gotten my mission style plans from the magazines I subscribe to but I don't recall seeing many plans for anything "rustic".
If you subscribe to Fine Woodworking you can see a picture of the style I am talking about on page 88 in the readers gallery of this month's issue (Oct. 2006). The piece by Brad Greedwood is a supremely beautiful example of the style and obviously he has taken many of his own liberties but this is in the vein of what I would like to take a whack at.
I have this thought in my mind that I would like to redo my den in this style.
Any ideas of where I might find this? Any decent books?
Thanks much.

If you go to www.rockler.com and type in a search for "rustic" they have some book and plans from what I scanned real quickly. Is that they style you are looking for?

It could be but it is hard to tell from the website. I'll have to make a trip to my local Rockler and skim through the book.
Thanks for the find.

Log slices are an easy way to make rustic furniture.

ED, there are several books available on rustic furniture making by a guy named Daniel Mack. Everything from getting the wood to project plans. I live just south of the Adirondacks in upstate New York ( yes, there IS more to NY than the "city") and am a big fan of the style. I have a couple of his books but have yet to find the time to try it.

Have fun and pardon the signature line ,
