I'm learning as much as I can about woodworking. This book would be greatly appreciated and read many times. Hope to be the recipient of the prize :)
boxes are fun to build.
My son thought he could come over to the shop to build a beautiful box for his wife for Christmas. He had 2 hours. Needless to say, he didn't even get the rough lumber milled in that time. He could have used a book like this.
I would love to have and use this book
I love making boxes...
I'd love this for ideas.
Really enjoy Doug's books and videos. Need all the help I can get.

Beautiful boxes are my 'Tour de force'. A book that takes me a step higher would be of great value. Boxes are my way of integrating the natural assets of timber with an artistic expression of form and style. Beautiful boxes are 'beautiful boxes'.
I live in Australia and have two of Doug's small boxes for inspiration as I start learning about box building. Having his book would be a fantastic assistance in my journey of box building/ design

Everybody loves a little box. When I buy stock for a project, I keep my eyes open for sections of the wood with "flaws" which won't work for the furniture, but might turn into a great box. This books looks like a great addition to anyone's reference library.
I'd love the book ... But I never win anything.
I'm an entirely self taught hobbyist. Beside the obvious attractions of woodworking a major attraction for me is learning new skills and techniques. Box making will enable me to practice new joinery skills in an ecomical way. It will introduce me to veneer ing as well. I can afford to incorporate more exotic woods into my work. Win or not I'll want a copy of this.

I have a few box projects coming up and this book would certainly enhance my work!

I like to make boxes and I like free books.
I like making boxes and this would be a great addition to my library
Most of us are box makers of one size or another. This looks to be an interesting book about the smaller sizes where attention to detail is really important. There are quite a few books devoted small box making so getting Doug Stowe's version should be enlightening especially since he has been writing magazine articles about these boxes for years. A free copy would be a welcome addition to my library.
I like books and boxes.
Love Doug Stowe's work.....count me in for the book giveaway
Nice book, I'd love to learn more about box making.
I am sure this will be another great Doug Stowe book. Would love to add to my woodworking library.
I could use this book.
I need to get this book
You can never have too many reference books. this would be a fine addition to my library. Design ideas can be applied to all aspects of woodcraft and box building is fun!
I teach college students furniture making for one month in January. Using this book to get them started with a small project might be just the thing to show them what it takes to design and build a much larger project later on.
I would like this.
We can all use helpful hints. Look forward to perusing this tome.
Small house, small garage workshop, small projects and a growing fascination with box building. I need this book.

I enjoy anything from Doug.
I enjoy Doug's books and could use one more.
I could make a box for the book,yes sir
You can never have enough boxes. Great to build them with left over scraps.
Yeah! Another book on boxes to feed my box obsession.
I love building boxes.
The inspiration garnered from Doug's new book, "Beautiful Boxes", could certainly be embraced, considered and then spur action in my home woodshop. I often dream of making, "beautiful Boxes" on my own, but guidance is always appreciated.
I'm sure this would be a huge help for my box making skills
Random comment in hopes of a random prize.
Yeah, it will be great to grab this book ;)
I would love to receive this book!
Would love to have this book.
I loved one of his earlier books becuase he threw in a little philosophy; sort of the Tao of the wordworking soul. You can like or leave the philosophy, but you have to give credit to someone how's willing to take a chance.
Way to go Doug. You're an excellent teacher.
Cheers
/Mike
A person can never have too many wood working books. Please enter me in the drawing.
I have enjoyed his work in the past. This would make a nice addition.
I am just getting into building boxes and I thing book would be would be an immense help.
Count me in please.
I have two of his books already and I really benefit from his teaching. I really liked the direction he gave one time to not just copy his boxes, but come up with our own designs that speak to us. Unleash our artistic side and it will be more fulfilling for ourselves. I appreciate that sentiment. Thanks Mr. Stowe.
I would love to have this book.
I am always interested in new woodworking books. I hope I get a free copy! Thanks for the opportunity.
If it is anything like Stowes first box book it will be just great.
That one was easy to follow. Being a beginner, I was thankful.
Looks like a good book!
Everyone likes a nice box, hereis a book to help make one.
Just took a "look inside" on the book site. The "magnetic tower of boxes" gives you an idea of just how creative Doug can be. I can't wait to read more.
I use only wood that grows on my place. It's great to shepherd the whole process. This book looks like it could really stimulate some creative design ideas. Be a great addition to my library
I would love to win this book. Boxes are great projects. Very little materials involved, quick to finish, and they make great gifts for family and friends.
Would love to have this book.
Box building is the best way to hone skills at the least cost, but coming up with another variation on a box design can often be difficult. With a book like Doug's written, it can really fire up the creative juices again and bring along some new techniques to practice.
I love making wooden boxes and another book by Doug Stowe would be icing on the cake! Pardon my drooling.

This book looks like it could really help me with boxes. Most books that I have seen show boxes that demonstrate the woodworking technique instead of focusing on the beauty of the box as a art form.
Seeing his videos and his philosophy on woodworking, I would be very much be interested in having this book to provide inspiration for a number of box making projects for gifts.
I always wanted to be a boxer
With this book I could learn to make a box to bury my ashes in.
I own several of Doug's other books and would love to have his latest. Sign me up!
wow
wow
wow
Would love Doug's new book.
Always interested in new stuff. Sign me up.
I just finished buillding my basement shop and I have been saving pieces of pretty-grained wood for a few years, hoping to make some Doug-inspired boxes. The book would be a tremendous help!
Looks like a very interesting book. I'm ready to start building boxes.
I have 2 Stowe Box Books... they're really quite good, even for amateurs (such as I)
I really want this book so I can make little boxes just like Matt Kenney!
How excellent is that!
Doug's books are great. I'm In!
Nearly all projects are a box of some type. One cannot read too much on making boxes.
Looks like a very inspirational book. "Wood" love to have one.
This looks like just the book I need to start making gift quality boxes, something new I'd like to try in my woodworking.
This would be a great book to study to improve in box making.
I enjoy making boxes, mostly on the lathe but would love to try the suggestions in this book. Thank you
Like a lot of woodworkers, I began by making boxes, then "graduated" , or so I thought to "real" furniture projects. But I've come to realize that the box building process is just as involved and requires perhaps even more skill. With less time for woodworking I may need to return to box construction.
I would love a copy of Doug's book. I need to start doing some smaller projects.
It's time I started making smaller projects. A book on boxes would help me make better boxes.
Thank you for the chance to win a great book.
Boxes, boxes, and boxes - such a great use of material that might otherwise wind up in the burn pile. Great gifts, would be great to have this. Thanks.
Just started making boxes. Would live to read this book.
Please count me in...I need this book!
Nice guy, nice boxes. I need this book.
Back in FW 232 Doug was asked how he got started making boxes and his reply was " I live in a tourist town, and boxes were something tourists could carry home in a suitcase". I've just moved to a tourist island and am about to set up a brand new workshop so boxes will definitely be on the menu. This book, like Doug's others, will be inspiring.
Very impressed with the box details and the step by step instructions. This should make the experience of constructing the boxes simpler than I thought with plenty of space for imagination. I have been laying out a jewelry box and the timing is perfect. Also making boxes for gifts is an excellent project.
This looks like a beautiful book, and I would love to have it!
I met Mr. Stowe a few years ago when he spoke at the Northeastern Woodworkers Showcase in Saratoga Springs, NY. Also follow his blog "Wisdom of the Hands" where he talks about the value of using one's hands as a key to learning.
His books are always useful and well written.
I've been looking at this book. love to have it.
I love Doug's books.
Looks like inspiring designs- should get me into the shop even when its cold and nasty, lured in by the beautiful boxes.
I have made many boxes but am always looking for new ideas.
This would be a great addition to my library.
I enjoy making boxes. This book would be a welcome addition to my woodworking library

I have been thinking about building boxes for a number of years and have finally started. I am a long time admirer of Doug Stowe's work.
Doug's books have all been an inspiration to me. I have learned so much from him and continue to pick up new techniques and ideas. I look forward to seeing his newest book and know it will continue to add to my base of knowledge in box building and design with his help.
start small is beautiful
Doug's other books are first rate - I'm anxious to read this latest.
I would love to see what this book has in store for its reader!
This book would be a fantastic help in making better boxes. Have always found Doug gives great example to follow and this takes the hard work out of making boxes.

Nothing like a box to Stowe things in.
I have read Doug Stowe's "Box Making" and "Basic Box Making" several times and find them to be such excellent references. I look forward to his third publication. His clear and concise explanations of his woodworking procedures, accompanied by the excellent photography have provided a great learning experience for me. What a great teacher!

I like containers. My sister liked containers. Why are we like that? Is it a desire for order or security? Tidiness? Don't know. But I really like boxes. One I have had since I was eight. --Ed
I've enjoyed all of Mr. Stowe's books and articles in the past and am sure this is another winner! This would be a great addition to the Stowe library.

Doug truly builds beautiful boxes. This book would be a great addition to my library; offering both guidance and inspiration.
You can make boxes out of, like, wood and stuff? Far out! I'd totally do that if I win this book!
I've only recently been bitten by the box making bug -- this would be a most appreciated addition to my new reference and ideas library.
New to box making, would love to have this book as a reference.

Can't wait to get my hands on the book. Doing box projects for Christmas this year. Would love to win a free one but will buy if I don't
Looks like a really nice book
Would love to have this book as I am thinking about doing more small boxes for gifts.
I teach woodworking in a high school and my students love making boxes and would really benefit from this addition to their repertoire.
Eight chapters, each dedicated to a specific box construction project. With no reviews posted and the video "peek inside" apparently not working, it's tough to determine how far beyond just the box construction Doug goes, but I assume the Introduction discusses the basics of all projects - consideration of grain, matching and contrasting woods, the different joints appropriate to construction. This has the potential to become a valuable resource for the advancing woodworker. Thanks, Doug.
The very first woodworker I was introduced to by a friend was Doug Stowe. I can hardly go into my shop without seeing Doug's influence everywhere. If the project is big or small Doug is hiding in plain sight if you know where to look. I would love to get this copy of his new book.
I've been building boxes lately with some small issues. You wouldn't think you could make mistakes building a simple box. So that book would be very handy.
Since I love making boxes for gifts I would love to have a copy
Just finished making one of Doug's boxes featured in wood magazine,and really enjoyed building it would liked to have his new book
Having followed Doug's blog for the past while, I would love to have a copy of this book - both his teaching and his woodworking are inspiring.
I love making boxes and giving them as gifts.
Look forward to reading this book
This would be a great addition to my Doug Stowe library!

I've had the privilege of taking some classes from Doug in Eureka Springs and he is an even better person than he is a woodworker and he is a fabulous woodworker.

Thank You for writing this book, I would be honored to receive a copy of your new book.

I'd like to make better and more unusual boxes. I'm sure Doug Stowe's book could show me ways to improve my projects. Winter is coming here in Minnesota and it's time to think about small projects that I can make indoors.
I might have commented already.
Enjoy all the info. Allen K.
I love seeing the boxes Doug creates. They are very inspiring. I think this book would be a great addition to my woodworking library.
help me become a box maker
This entry is for PCBG01207.
Always looking for new design ideas. Book sounds great.
Woodworking is a special hobby of mine - been doing it all my life but I just started making boxes and I know this book would be a great help. I'll be 72 years young on Sept. 25th. Coincidence? I hope so.
I would love to own another Doug Stowe book.
I am just starting to shift my woodworking into boxes and will no doubt buy this book if I don't win it. Whether I win it or not, I would love to hear Doug Stowe as a guest on Shop Talk Live.
This would be an excellent resource for Christmas gifts this year!
Congratulations to the lucky winners! Thank you all for participating and for your kind remarks!
