Welcome!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my web site. My passion is making wooden boxes, and I’m happy to have the opportunity to share them with others.

For the most part, I make my boxes one at a time, and one of a kind, although there are several designs that I reuse in varying manners. The primarly purpose of this site is to give you an idea of the types of boxes, styles and woods that I work with. As such, it does not represent current inventory available for sale.  Galleries 1 and 2 contain images of previously completed and sold work.  You can find a partial showing of available pieces by selecting the "available inventory" tab above.  The section on Jewelry Stands/Tables contains both sold and available work. 

 I also do commissions, working with my clients to design a box that best fits their needs and aesthic interests.  More and more of my work is of this type.  Feel free to contact me in this regard.

The box above is one of my favorite keepsake boxes.  The rich, highly figured dark wood is Ziricote.  This is a hard-to-find exotic from Mexico and the Yukatan Peninsula.  The contrasting lid is made of Tiger Maple, as are the box feet. 

Interested in what's going on in the shop .... updates on shows .... new designs ..... classes?  I've started a new blog.  You can check it out at Art 'N a Box.
