Working With Wood Books

Learn how to make functional, elegant boxes for everyday use or special occasions, as handmade gifts with a special, personal touch or simply as pieces to display proudly in the home, all with the scroll saw.  Author Diana Thompson returns with Custom Wooden Boxes for the Scroll Saw, offering step-by-step directions to creating thirty-one different projects, including a pencil box, potpourri box, butterfly box, double heart box, classic round box, Holy Bible box and much more.

Beginners to the art of woodworking will find information regarding the basics of box-making, the differences between various types of woods, tools and finishing techniques.  Every project has, in addition to clear instructions, full-color photographs of the finished box and large, easy-to-copy patterns.  There is even a chapter devoted to making custom lids so that even the intermediate or advanced woodworker may find new project ideas.
