25 Projects for Outdoorsmen : Quick and Easy Plans for the Backcountry and the Backyard

Leo Somma has been an avid hunter and fisherman for the past thirty-five years. His second passion is woodworking projects that other sportsmen and -women will find useful and fun to build. All his projects are designed to be handsome as well as practical and functional additions to deer camps, cabins, homes, and the field. They are also designed to be quick and easy to build, and are accompanied by detailed, step-by-step drawings and photographs.

In 40 Projects for Outdoorsmen, Leo shares his favorite woodworking projects, including a wide variety of tree-stands, animal houses, gun and rod racks, all types of storage boxes, and a wide variety of sheds, shelves, and bookcases for sportsmen who enjoy do-it-yourself woodworking projects. Many of the outdoor woodworking projects in this book were built at his shop in Morris, New York, where they are put to the test on both his farm, and the farm of his cousin, Peter Fiduccia, as well.

From the hunter who wants to build a custom wall plaque for mounted game to the birder-watcher who wants a tempting backyard feeder, 40 Projects for Outdoorsmen includes expert advice on getting started, with complete lists of the tools and materials the outdoorsman will need, along with a valuable list of resources. This book is an ideal reference for both beginners and more experienced DIYers who want attractive and fast results.
