Editorial Reviews

01/01/2017
This sophisticated and beautiful collection of wood box projects takes advantage of different joinery, wood varieties, and ornamental techniques. From large chests to small trinket boxes, there is a wide range of styles represented. While there are good illustrations and excellent instruction, competency in techniques and tool use is assumed. Each project includes a list of materials, required tools, and specialized equipment. These stunning projects are not for the novice. Veneering, marquetry, and wood bending are involved, with intermediate and advanced skills a must. VERDICT Perfect for dedicated woodworkers seeking a challenge in projects that push their skills.
