Cherry Keepsake Box

$175

Although a classic rectangular design, this keepsake box was custom designed as a gift. Excellent for keeping all kinds of memories. The box is lined with and the inner tray is made from aromatic red cedar. Unqiue features are exposed box/finger joinery provide a interesting and unique look. These types of custom boxes are a specialty of mine. I have made many of different types using various species of wood. I use the best hardware and put a great deal of time into finishing. "Fit and Finish" is my signature.

Maker of unique custom made gifts and furniture using quality materials and hardware. I firmly believe that the feel of a woodcrafted item is as important as how it looks. Perfectly fitting drawers, doors and lids combined with high quality hardware make a project feel luxurious. It's the difference between a fine woodcraft and a decoration you might find at a craft fair. Most of my projects are finished with a clear finish. This is because I don't like to hide anything and prefer to let the quality materials show through.

Since I started woodworking, I have believed that lumber selection is most important aspect in building a piece of furniture. I have spent countless hours sifting through piles of salvaged lumber or climbing stacks of lumber at the lumber mill in order to find the perfect boards for a project. I have never simply taken what the lumber guy hands me. If I can't look, smell and touch the lumber and select it myself, I will not purchase from that supplier.

Whether a standard design or a custom piece of furniture, I believe every item that I make will become a cherished family heirloom.
