Just returned from Oahu, Hawaii. Stayed with my daughter that lives
there to save mega $$ in hotel costs. I was in a high end gift shop in
Waikiki. They have some stunningly beautiful boxes made of a variety of
woods, including monkey pod, lined with cedar. They were about 30
inches by 24 inches by 20 inches. One was $4100, the other two which
had curved tops were $4600. Ouch.

Anyway, I can make these things. And bigger.


So I was wondering what box making books the gropu recommedns. Two I
found a
Box-Making Basics by David M. Freedman
and
Tauton's Illustrated Guide to Box Making by Doug Stowe


Any recommendations?

BTW, I can probably design and build a box without a book but I've
found sometimes a $20 book can prevent a $200 mistake.

Cheers.

It appears that Mr. Stowe has published a few books on that very
subject accornding to amazon.com

Waikiki - nice place.

I have the Illustrated Guide and like it. Mr. Stowe hangs out here
from time to time...
