5.0 out of 5 stars The one box book to get, 28 Feb 1998
By A Customer
Doug Stowe's beautifully photographed book clearly stands heads and shoulders other woodworking box books. Stowe's designs range from the simple to the complex, in a variety of styles, with an emphasis on contemporary and Arts-and-Crafts. I am usually suspicious of books with step-by-step instructions, as I am a relatively advanced woodworker. However, I found Stowe's construction hints helpful and decidedly not tedious. Stowe also breaks the book up with personal essays, which make it a big step up from an arm-chair picture book. The book is fun to read, as well as look at.

Stowe appeared to also write the book to give confidence to the novice. The photography is excellent. One thing I found especially good is one can get a feel for tolerances required for given operations by looking at the photos. One can tell that the finished product is going to be a success, even if a splinter is off here and there, which gives confidence to the novice-- reason being that too often those lacking experience put off trying harder techniques because they have feel for how "perfect" work must be in order to achieve success.

Another strength of the book is that the boxes made are all significantly different, embodying different techniques. This is a good step in the right direction from previous box books, which give umpteen variations on a single theme.

If you're going to buy one book about making wood boxes, this is the one to pick.

3.0 out of 5 stars Box making for hobbyists, 26 Jul 2004
Browing through books on Amazon I was unsure which to select, because these type of books carry no reviews, unless those written by customers. I opted for Doug Stowe's Beautiful Boxes with Inlay Techniques after reading one such review.

The book has some very interesting boxes and instructions are clear and easy to follow. The inlay techniques are especially useful as this is a skill that can be carried to other woodworking projects besides boxes.

However, if you, like myself, are looking for a box that could hold important family documents with instructions on how to fit a lock, then this is not the book for you as none of the boxes has a lock & key.

There are 15 boxes to make, of varying shapes, including a simple inlaid box, a pen box, CD cabinet and Fiddleback Maple Jewelry Chest.
