Hinged Curly Koa Box
The lid of this box is a slab of crotch-grain Hawaiian koa framed by koa sapwood with a thin stripe of Indian rosewood to accentuate contrast. The finished panel is carefully fitted and hinged on a pair of steel pins. Tight tolerances cushion the lid's fall. The sides are fiddleback koa lined with aromatic cedar. Binding and splines are rosewood. The box is signed, dated and finished with black Ultrasuede. Collection of President Bill Clinton.

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!!!
