Beautiful Boxes Design and Technique with Doug Stowe

Making wooden boxes is one of the best ways to develop overall proficiency in woodworking. Boxes are relatively quick to build, require only a small amount of material, and can be made in the smallest of woodshops. And, of course, they make wonderful gifts! In this all-new collection of boxes from one of Americas premier box makers, Doug Stowe shows how to design and build eight distinctive boxes, ranging from a Greene & Greene-style jewellery box to a ‘letter box’ with sloping lid. Each box illustrates a key design principle such as harmony, rhythm, texture, or contrast, and includes one or two design variations.
