Simply Beautiful Book

For those of us used to pristine "how-to" photos, its great to see an author with a few nicks and cuts on his hands, and I do beleive I saw a thumb nail (real) with a bruise caused by a hammer blow. This is a "no-nonsense" bible for those of us interested in box making. Excellent.

A most helpful book

In "Simply Beautiful Boxes" Doug Stowe continues to make the process of building boxes easy to understand. The text and photos are like being there in his shop watching him work.There are enough different projects so that woodworkers of all skills levels can find something to try, and I've found myself trying techniques I didn't think I could do.Rate it very highly.

Mr. Stowe's book provides inspiration and step-by-step illustrations for creating fifteen distinctly different boxes that range from utilitarian to functional art. His method of teaching and emphasis on safety will aid craftsmen of all skill levels.
