You can construct a wooden box with a secure, stable wooden connection of two parts without the use of glue, relying solely on natural forces. This structure is referred to as a shrink pot. Utilizing the natural wood drying process, these items are expertly crafted from freshly-harvested branches, known as green wood. A dry wood base is inserted into a newly hollowed-out branch which becomes a snug fit when the wood of the branch dries.
The procedure for making shrink pots is explained and illustrated in this booklet. Tools are presented and step-by-step instructions guide the reader from start to finish.
This guide is aimed at both beginners and experienced woodcarvers. The step by step instructions are written in an easy to follow way and is accompanied by many drawings. Following these steps you will be able to create your own unique wooden containers that can be used in the kitchen for tea, coffee, spices or sugar, jewellery and more.
