Unlock the secrets of thoughtful design and move beyond the "blueprint" to create boxes that tell a story.

In Designing Boxes, master craftsman Doug Stowe invites you to look past basic construction and explore the artistic soul of woodworking. While many books focus on step-by-step projects, this guide dives into the "Why-to" of the craft—teaching you how to infuse your work with harmony, rhythm, and personal expression.

Whether you're a seasoned maker looking to break free from plans or an intermediate woodworker ready to develop a signature style, Stowe provides the philosophical and practical tools to elevate your craft.

Through a series of elegant projects, you will learn how the relationship between materials, tools, and the maker influences every line and joint. This is more than a manual; it is a masterclass in visual storytelling through wood, intended to build your confidence as a designer and an artisan.

In this book, you will explore:

  • Design Principles: How to use texture, contrast, and proportion to create “Visual Gravity.”
  • Material Narrative: Choosing wood species not just for strength, but for their ability to convey a mood or history.
  • The Maker’s Relationship: How the choice of a specific hand tool or machine setup dictates the final aesthetic of the piece.
  • Evolving Technique: Strategies for letting the design process guide your technical growth, resulting in one-of-a-kind heirloom treasures.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy

I have 2!
Color: Coal Black
My office is in my loft. But there are things along the wall I don’t want to look at. These work great. Hides what I don’t want to see & is a classy look in the room. Sturdy, easy to assemble, well made.
