Box - "In Memoriam"
This box was created as a commemorative piece for a friend's beloved pet and now holds the dog's ashes. Dramatic bird's eye koa wraps around the sides, and the wild figure on the lid reminded me of Piccolo's questioning look. The trim wood is Indian rosewood, the box is lined with cedar and finished with Ultrasuede. It's signed, dated, and inscribed. The wood is very dense and makes a bell-like sound when jostled.

I make one-of-a-kind heirloom boxes, personal furniture, commemorative items and accessories out of figured and unusual hardwoods. I have been at this since 1976.

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!!!
