In the 1990s, there was a resurgence of interest in DIY home improvement and traditional crafts. *WOOD* magazine, a trusted Better Homes and Gardens publication, was at the forefront of this movement, providing accessible yet high-quality plans for home woodworkers. This 'Best of' compilation features shop-tested projects, like the classic outdoor furniture on the cover, that epitomize the era's desire for handcrafted quality. It's a fantastic resource for both nostalgic inspiration and practical, buildable furniture plans.
