About this Item
Very Good first edition hardcover in a Good+ dust jacket. Book is clean, solid, and internally bright with tight binding and attractive illustrated boards beneath the jacket. Dust jacket shows moderate edge wear and rubbing, with notable chipping and tearing at the upper spine head and top edge. Jacket remains intact and presents well overall despite flaws.
An extensively illustrated practical guide to the art and craft of decorative box making by woodworking author Andrew Crawford. Covering everything from basic construction techniques to advanced decorative treatments, the volume provides detailed instruction on planning, joinery, lid fitting, hinges, locks, veneers, inlays, and finishing methods for handcrafted wooden boxes.
Richly illustrated throughout with color photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step project demonstrations, this work became a popular reference among woodworkers, furniture makers, and studio craftsmen during the resurgence of fine woodworking and artisanal craft movements in the late twentieth century. The gallery sections featuring finished boxes offer both technical inspiration and design ideas ranging from traditional forms to contemporary interpretations.
An appealing and highly usable reference for collectors and practitioners of woodworking, decorative arts, studio craft, marquetry, cabinetmaking, and handmade object design. Particularly desirable for makers interested in small-scale precision woodworking projects and presentation-quality keepsake boxes. A dangerous book for anyone who already owns ?just a few clamps.? The slope gets slippery fast.
Carefully packed and shipped in a box. Shipped via USPS with tracking provided. International shipping available. Additional photographs available upon request. Please review photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Returns accepted within the AbeBooks 30-day return window.
