Fancy Box
A mix of tasty koa grains provide the subtle tones that animate this little gem. Warm, reddish-brown milo and a few thin lines of near-white mango finish the job nicely. Side panels are built in proportion to the elaborately cross-laminated lid, which takes advantage of the directional luminosity characteristic of chatoyant hardwoods to create the illusion of depth. The milo splines provide strength as well as an additional design accent. The box is lined with aromatic cedar, signed and dated, and finished with Ultrasuede. Lift-off lid fits both ways. 4" x 6-1/2".

Jul 14, 2021Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project. He went above and beyond to help me turn a drawing that I made into a physical object that I know I will treasure for years and generations to come. He is so knowledgable on his craft, so do not be afraid if you aren't aware of how wood and other materials work (I surely wasn't). I couldn't recommend him more. Worth every penny and more. Look no further!!!
