Synopsis
"One of the most fascinating how-to books to appear in quite a while, an incredible impetus for even non-woodworkers to try their hands and band saws.... A gallery of Leong's work serves as an appetizer, which is followed by five different projects.... Nothing has yet equaled the imaginative pieces presented here." - Booklist. "Po Shun Leong's boxes are intricately detailed designs incorporating cogs, wheels and towers. They'll amaze-and inspire-you."- Woodworker's Journal . "Concludes with stunning examples of what Leong can do with wood scraps."- Woodshop News., Imagination. Complexity. Enjoyment. Intrigue. A sense of wonder. These emotions radiate from the creations of Po Shun Leong, an acclaimed woodworker who fashions magnificent, detailed and one-of-a-kind wood boxes. Inspired during his childhood by a huge wooden model of an ocean liner, Start with simple shapes, then incorporate rectangles and squares into more fantastic and always surprising frameworks. The entire process of creation - from inspiration to sketching, sanding, finishing, and bleaching - is about 'magic and drama', claims Leong, and every design proves that point. Some figures take their inspiration from surrealist art, while others feature clean oval shapes surrounding totems and towers. The highly intricate 'Modern Times' takes its name from the Chaplin film and began a series of wall-mounted boxers; it has elements recalling cogs, wheels, and other machinery parts. 'Mask Boxes' capture aspects of tribal art, and various 'Pompeii' vessels widen at the top - providing a powerful image of volcanic explosion., "One of the most fascinating how-to books to appear in quite a while, an incredible impetus for even non-woodworkers to try their hands and band saws....Nothing has yet equaled the imaginative pieces presented here."- Booklist . "Po Shun Leong's boxes are intricately detailed designs incorporating cogs, wheels and towers. They'll amaze-and inspire-you." - Woodworker's Journal .
