This box was intended to get laughs for its owner, and it definitely worked. It is a box i did for a pilot friend of mine. The box was a simple finger jointed box with a raised panel top. The box itself and the frame of the lid are cherry, the raised panel is beech. The inlay is comprised of woods, dyes, and metals. The box was intended to be a simple 'canvas' for the inlay to live in.

I design and create one of a kind works of art with primarily wood and confidently used mixed media. I am a formally trained craftsman and luthier. I am a woodworker by trade, and I’m a woodworking instructor at the red rocks school of fine wood working, I teach classical guitar as well steel string acoustic guitar construction. Crafting instruments is a passion of mine. I am well versed in handcut and machine cut joinery as well as modern contemporary woodworking design styles and approaches. I have training in antique reproduction and antiqued finishes. I am an accomplished inlay artist with a unique style, approach, and a use of mixed media all my own. In everything I craft, be it a guitar, a table, a jewelry box, a picture frame, a wall piece, or even a custom belt buckle, the attention to detail, unique style, and quality of my work, top to bottom, inside and out is intended to drop jaws and leave passers by captivated.
I have a flare for the unconventional and I like making pieces that turn heads. I love blending mediums and styles in ways that you don’t see everyday.
I love a challenge.
