Ikebana, the Japanese art of arranging flowers, differs from Western practice by using asymmetrical form and including empty space as part of the composition. Any plant materialóbranches, leaves, grasses, moss, and fruitó may be used. The vase is considered an important part of the whole. With this simple project, you can create a pebbled stage for a few carefully chosen branches and blossoms.

- For a clear idea of how our projects go together, each downloadable plan includes an exploded-view drawing with helpful details. All drawings are done professionally by the WOOD Magazine staff of woodworkers and illustrators.
- Large color photos and step-by-step instructions show exactly how we built the project in the WOOD magazine shop. We build each project ourselves to work out any bugs before you ever get the plan.
- Detail drawings and step-by-step illustrations provide necessary dimensions and machining processes you'll need to make the building process as straightforward as possible.
