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 lid is made from a piece of Ziricote, a wood that comes from Mexico and Central America. To make the lid, I resawed a thick piece into two thinner pieces, flipped one over, and glued the two together. This is called "book-matching". The result looked so much like a peaceful pastoral scene, I couldn't help but add a setting sun.
