Description
From the back cover:
Dale Power departs ... from the animal carvings he is so well known for, turning his attention to the manufacture of special boxes for pets and people. All of the tools and techniques needed to produce strong and beautiful coffins are presented here in clear, concise language. Color photographs illustrate every step in the construction of three pet and three human sized coffins. Detailed patterns are provided for each box. Several different box construction techniques are also revealed. One box design even doubles as a blanket chest or coffee table.
Once the coffins are built, the discussion turns to the many moldings, appliqués, and finishes which may be used to make each coffin unique. A color photo gallery is also provided. With full color illustrations and detailed instructions, this book is a challenge to the novice and a joy for the experienced craftsman.
