Hawaii, boxes and books
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. |
