Award-Winning Wood Boxes: Design & Technique

By Tony Lydgate

Book Overview

Exquisite inlaid covers, gracefully simple lines and soft curves, glorious woods, intriguing lids, and intricate compartments are the hallmarks of the work of some of the world's best box-making artists. "If you think a box is just a box, you're in for a surprise. The boxes Lydgate details are...handcrafted works that call for such exotic woods as rosewood, purpleheart, satinwood, and Hawaiian koa....Not a lot of board feet are needed for any project and the average woodworker will have the tools to make every project in the book."-- Booklist .
