5 out of 5 starsI bought this box as a graduation gift for my son. It is wonderful! The seller was amazing to work with. Due to COVID his normal engraver was closed and he helped me find another Etsy merchant so my project could be completed. I am so happy with this purchase. Highly recommend.

Many boxes start this way. An interesting combination of woods and then planed to thickness.

Very little is wasted. I often feel like a mosaic artist looking for just the right piece of tile.

Many of the boxes are cut out with this good old Stanley mitre box.

A good sharp chisel is essential at times!
A melding of design and woodworking
My shop really starts with a personal story. I have done woodworking since I was a teenager working in my Dad's custom shop, but pursued a career as a graphic designer. My daughter was graduating from college and I decided to gift her with her late mother's rings with a gold necklace as a gift. I didn't have an appropriate box and decided to make a wooden box. I started experimenting more and more with blending my design and woodworking skills and hundreds of boxes and jewelry pieces later I am still going!
Everything is made in my shop/studio. I carefully select woods with interesting grains or contrasting colors and work them into objects that I enjoy and hope to share with others. I am particularly fond of native midwestern woods such as oak, sassafras, walnut, and cherry. I work with a blend of power tools and hand tools but find myself more and more using hand tools. They provide a certain connectedness with the wood that I really enjoy.
I work for myself full time as a woodworker, graphic designer, and photographer and find the newness of contemporary design created with computers and the timelessness of wood created with traditional techniques is a contrasting combo I truly love.
Some designs start on my computer screen, some in my head or sketchbook, and others just seem to evolve into being as I work!
