I am a retired physician who makes jewelry, keepsake, memorial, and decorative boxes that are typically commissioned by people who wish to give them as gifts. I have been doing this for several years, but have focused on working with exotic hardwoods and more intricate designs since I retired about three years ago. While there are a lot of woodworkers who enjoy making small boxes, I believe that I have been able to differentiate myself from them because I have developed my marquetry skills and now do almost all my decorative and inlay work with a double bevel technique that I learned from the artisan David Marks.

I work alone and handcraft every item to meet the unique specifications of my customers. Typically, they provide me with a reference image and a design request. I then execute the project in about 2 to 3 weeks, spending about an equal amount of time on the construction and finishing of the work. A typical example of this is provided in my project entitled “Keepsake Box for Sailboat Captain.” In addition, I make some of my own designs that I sell. The butterfly marquetry jewelry box project is a good example of this.

My goal is to have the joy of engaging in my hobby while recovering the cost of my materials while have a bit extra to add a few new tools. But, most importantly, I want to be able to provide a unique prized decorative box that fills a special need.

    Dennis is awesome. Great communication and an absolute professional throughout the whole process. He completed a one of a kind jewelry box for my fiance, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended if you are looking for top quality work.

    Was a pleasure doing business with Dennis and I am extremely happy with the high quality of his workmanship.

    Would I use him again? Yes, definitely. In fact I have another project for wooden side ends for a different keyboard, this time a Nord 5D.

    Dennis, should I shop you the existing wooden side ends so you can make some high quality copies in the ornate walnut you used on my last order?

    I had this made for out first year anniversary. We were amazed by the intricacy of the woodwork. Dr. Chenoweth took a photo we sent him and turned it into a masterful interpretation. The choice of wood and finish made into a wonderful keepsake box that will become more beautiful with age. We love the smell and touch of the box as well - not only is the artwork unique but the different tones, grains of the wood make this one of a kind. Dr. Chenoweth was very professional and was pleasant to communicate with. He kept me involved throughout the process and when the project was complete it felt very personal.

    Thank you so much for making our anniversary gift. We cherish it!
