Making Art Boxes: Po Shun Leong

Here are some of the most extraordinary boxes ever made. Their dramatic shapes & magical intricacy have been prized by institutions & private collectors, & have made their creator -- artist, architect & furniture designer Po Shun Leong -- one of America's most sought-after woodworkers. This collection of 70 masterpieces explores his fascination with the relics of the past & the icons of the future, all expressed with a woodworker's consummate skill. Five how-to projects were specially created by the artist for this book, complete with diagrams, dimensioned parts lists, & complete step-by-step fabrication instructions. Includes a biography & an essay tracing the history of boxes from Leong's work back to the ancient Egyptians.
