Overview

To show the dramatic results that can be obtained from closer attention to wood's natural strengths, Elkan has assembled a showcase of projects, all shown in breathtaking color. The fifteen designs featured here are imaginative variations on woodworkers' favorites: the basic bandsawn box (which he calls a "keeper"), hinged box, dovetail box, butterfly, owl, bird's nest, tower of wings, and several other sculptured piecesβ€”all shown in oversize close-ups that focus on the careful techniques needed for following the natural wood patterns. A full-color photo gallery displays over 40 award-winning projects. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 X 10.
