Part of the fun of working with wood is coming across the unusual colors that occur naturally in the world's forests. I laminated end-grain slices of pernambuco with rosewood cross-hairs, framed the result in purpleheart, and dropped it on a gorgeous landscape of koa. The rosewood trim and splines tie it together nicely. I never use dyes or stains but I thought I should reiterate that to make the point that wood is an underappreciated material. Lined with camphor, signed, dated, finished with color-matched Ultrasuede. 3-14" square. Truly a one-of-a-kind object.

For Mason's Ring BoxTim 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!!!
