The projects in this book range from small ring boxes and trinket containers to larger boxes with several drawers. They showcase a variety of construction and decorative techniques, such as dovetails, inlay, veneering, and using contrasting timbers. High-quality walnut and figured sycamore are used, and offcuts can be used to make some of the smaller boxes. Each project is described in detail and illustrated with colour photographs. These high-quality boxes will not only keep treasured items safe but will also become precious heirlooms. Boxes can be made to mark special occasions, such as weddings or anniversaries, or to store sentimental items and keepsakes. Advice is given to personalising the projects, inspiring readers to create boxes to keep or give as gifts.
