Carving Blocks of Wood

If you have large blocks of wood, you can easily carve them into different shapes of your choice. Wooden blocks carved into various shapes like mushrooms or totems can help in decorating the yard uniquely.

Note that carving out the desired shape requires some amount of skill and practice using specific woodworking tools such as chisels, knives, and hammers. When done, use a sandpaper to smoothen out the rough edges, so that the carved out shapes look glossy.

Using Bentwood

Bentwood is perfect if you wish to decorate your yard with benches, trellises, and arbors. Flexible branches such as those obtained from willow are useful for making garden furniture, trellis, and twig arbor. You can even use the wood and branches from other trees.

To ensure its flexibility, you need to soak the wood in water for a while which will soften the wood. You can then use several such branches for making it more stable when used in furniture or other decorations in your yard
