Ranging from small ring boxes and trinket containers to larger boxes with several drawers, the projects in this book showcase a variety of construction and decorative techniques, such as dovetails, inlay, veneering and using contrasting timbers. Woods used include high-quality walnut and figured sycamore and offcuts can used to make some of the smaller boxes. Each project is described in detail and is illustrated with colour photographs.

These high-quality boxes will not only keep treasured items safe but will also become precious heirlooms. Boxes can be made to mark special occasions, such as weddings or anniversaries, or to store sentimental items and keepsakes. Advice is given on how to personalise the projects, inspiring readers to create their own boxes to keep or give as gifts.
