Exotic Wood Samples

Wisteria

This piece can be used as a table centerpiece displaying candles or other art. Thin strips of walnut were layered to make the top. I was going to sell this small stand at a booth at a local festival. However, my wife made several hints of how good it would look in our house and how she wanted one just like it. So, as you can guess, it now resides on our kitchen table.

Sasa

The Sasa box was a donation I made to a local school auction to benefit its students and programs. A local surgeon purchased the box.

Larix

The Larix box was commissioned by a gentleman who was interested in replacing an old jewelry box for his girlfriend's birthday. As her birthday came closer, their relationship grew and the box was given to her with a beautiful ring placed inside. They are now happily married.

I was honored that my work was a part of this special moment in their lives.

Cotoneaster

This is a simple candle holder made for common tealights. My sister purchased this piece, and uses it often. It became more than a decoration a few weeks later when her power went out and this was the only candle holder she had that kept the candles from dripping.

Aromatic Cedar, Curly Maple

Acer

The Acer box was commissioned by a woman interested in purchasing a special gift for her daughter's 18th birthday. The client was so impressed with the keepsake box she has since commissioned a box for her younger daughter, one for herself and a built-in bookcase around the headboard of her daughter's new bed.

Tulipwood, Walnut, Brown Suede
10"W x 7"D x 7"H

Cedrus

I made this keepsake box as a gift for my father last year. It was my first try at boxmaking and is made of walnut, curly anigre veneer, and wenge accents. The box's interior is also lined with aromatic cedar to help preserve its contents.

Walnut, Curly Anigre Veneer, Wenge
13"W x 13"D x 10"H

Zelkova

This changing table was made for my son Braedon. The changing pad cradle is removable so that the dresser can be used as an entertainment center when he is older. It has a mahogany exterior and a birch interior. It is finished with boiled linseed oil and cab-acrylic lacquer giving it an extremely durable finish.
