"This book takes the art of boxmaking to a new level, with designs featuring marquetry, carving, inlays, and segmented turning by custom furniture maker Dennis Zongker"--

Down through the ages, woodworkers have crafted boxes for many reasons. Of course, the predominant reason is that of storage for anything from documents and photos to collectibles, tools, and jewelry. The 14 projects featured here offer variety and months of workshop enjoyment. Make a box for showing off precious pieces of figured wood or your finely honed skills. Build gift boxes that will delight loved ones and provide them with a special container for storing treasured heirlooms. Whatever your motivation, the box designs here are both functional and decorative. Box making does not typically involve a lot of wood and most boxes can be built over the course of just a few days. Each project contains easy-to-follow, step-by-step illustrated instructions, dimensioned drawings, cut lists, and lists of suggested items needed to complete the boxes.

Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory - a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List. This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy on the Wooden Boxis a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.
