52 Boxes in 52 Weeks shows you how to make graceful, elegant boxes that will inspire confidence and build technique. Readers will begin with the fundamentals of design and construction: how to match grain at corners, how to cut miters, how to make tops and bottoms, and how to finish a box with shellac, sometimes highlighted with milk paint. Following that, Kenney reveals some universal design principles that can be used as guidance as readers develop their own design aesthetic. And then, of course, the book transitions to instructions on designing and building the boxes themselves—all 52 of them!
