Working With Wood Books

Functional and decorative, handmade boxes make the perfect gift for those who have a lot of keepsakes or jewelry that they want to protect.  Boxes are also ideal for the woodworker to gain more experience or test his creativity, making them suitable for all skill levels.  In Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw, author Gary MacKay presents 30 woodworking projects for the scroll saw, including pinwheel boxes, pie-segmented boxes, knitting boxes, tissue boxes and so much more.

The projects are presented in a sequential learning format, starting with the easiest and increasing in complexity.  Each has step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs, and an entire chapter is devoted to the different types of wood, the tools needed, adhesives, box linings and more.
