From Booklist Dual purposes underscore this richly illustrated handbook: to pay tribute to outstanding contemporary American box makers and to guide potential box makers to successful fruition of their desire. Handcrafted wood boxes, particularly those of a small size that are featured here, are lovely items to treasure and, let us not forget, to actually use as containers for all kinds of little items. First the author presents general directions, which take the reader from learning about basic tools to selecting and preparing stock, to sanding, and, finally, to finishing.
