Aja – A Box Inspired By A Steely Dan Song.
I always wanted to design and build an very Asian style jewelry box. The thought and work that went into Aja was pure joy for me. It allowed me to combine an Asian influence along with elements from the period of Greene & Greene furniture and architecture. The box has two drawers that are divided into sections and lined with black suede leather. The woods used are: Bloodwood, Gabon Ebony and Maple. Hardware is black iron and stainless pins. The finish consists of 6 hand rubbed coats of an oil finish ending with two coats of English paste wax. The box measures 10" x 4" x 4.5".

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
After years of being an art director for magazines and advertising agencies, my passion has evolved from beautiful print work to beautiful woodwork.
I have become a creator of "one-of-a-kind" Gallery Quality Jewelry Boxes that I believe are more akin to functional art than just a container to hold jewelry.
All my boxes are made using unique grained, imported wood along with brass or stainless steel details, all drawers or trays lined with leather or suede and occasionally, semi-precious gemstones.
Sometimes, hours are spending deciding which woods work together best. From the eyes of a perfectionist, my boxes do not work unless I feel the wood is the perfect choice.
I feel that the best results are achieved by the needs of what I want a specific boxes’ character or personality to be.
It's my belief that each box must reflect my enjoyment in its creation and that this same feeling has to be passed on the final owner.
