A comprehensive, illustrated guide to turning gorgeous wooden boxes in various styles, from simple to complex. 

Teacher and professional woodturner Bill Bowers leads this detailed step-by-step workshop for constructing the classic cylinder box, cylinder box variants with embellishments, the classic capsule box, and capsule box variants with chatter tool work. Each step is clearly described and illustrated, from mounting the blank on the lathe to finishing.

The book includes:

  • Projects for a classic Raffan box, pagoda box, clam shell box, gourd box, and small hollow-form boxes with bottle-top and finial-top lids
  • Over 300 color photos to guide you on your way
  • A photo gallery of new turned box styles for added inspiration

Whether you’re a complete newcomer to turning or want to brush up on your skills (and add a few more), this guide is a must-have resource to add to your bookshelf.

Bill Bowers is an active turner and instructor who lives in Alaska. This is his fourth book for Schiffer Publishing.
