Wooden Boxes

A small box is an ideal woodworking project for anyone looking to gain skills and learn techniques. The reward is something elegant and functional that also makes a great gift. In this book, Dennis Zongker gives clear, step-by-step instructions for seven different projects (with variations), each designed to teach the reader skills that can be applied to a wide variety of box projects as well as to furniture and other woodworking projects. The boxes featured are traditional in style with a modern twist and incorporate a rich variety of woodworking techniques from basic to advanced: veneers, joinery, segmented turning and more. Also included are detailed chapters on carving and marquetry, which give these stylish boxes an elegant look.
