How to Make a Small Gift Box with a Bookmatched Top

In this Rockler demo you'll learn how to make a small box with mitered corners and a bookmatched top. You can build this project using just one 3/4' x 3-1/2' x 24" piece of stock. This is a perfect project for those scrap pieces laying around your shop that are too small for most projects, but too interesting to throw away. You can also use the same plan and techniques to build larger versions of this box. Resawing with a bandsaw is the key technique used to make this box. A drum sander makes cleaning up the cuts a breeze.
