A book devoted exclusively to the making of containers of various sorts might seem a bit unusual. However, Asa's considerable skills as a craftsman (he designed and made all these projects) and his eclectic tastes make this a valuable sourcebook for the woodcrafter. The projects range from the simplicity of a basic utility box to the elegance of intricately carved and inlaid bowls. Asa encourages experimentation, drawing design ideas from his extensive travels and his study of other cultures and incorporating bits of found materials, exotic wood remnants, metal forgings, and homemade finishes. The book assumes a fair amount of skill and should not be considered a how-to manual. It works best as an idea book for the experienced woodcrafter looking for something a bit different. Recommended for public libraries with active craft collections.
