Big Boy Koa Box
This showpiece features a remarkable piece of crotch-grain Hawaiian koa tightly framed in a darker bird's eye of the same species. The trim is rosewood and the carcass is a wrap-around landscape with a curly sapwood sky that turns to a rich red brown as it descends to earth. This is dense koa and the slight bullnose on the edges softens an otherwise hefty piece. At 6" x 14" this is a handful of highly figured hardwood! Sandalwood lined, signed and dated, finished with color-matched Ultrasuede.

For Mason's Ring Box5.0Tim 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!!!

For City Lights I4.8Timothy Lydgate is a fantastic wood worker. His efforts to work with me when the post office made a mistake they wouldn't rectify were also greatly appreciated. If you want some wood art you can't go wrong picking Timothy Lydgate.
