Tipply Boxes

$48

These little round bottom boxes (and one vase) are wonderful. The sit at odd angles and, like the toy, the Weeble, they wobble but do not fall down. They make pretty decorations and excellent stash boxes for whatever you have that needs stashing.

I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.

In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.

I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.

Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

    Jim was fantastic to work with. He made us a completely custom mantle shelf at a great price. He's truly passionate about his work and couldn't be a nicer. I definitely recommend him highly!

    For Small wooden kitchen countertop
    5.0

    ShopDog Turnery created a beautiful wooden countertop for above our new dishwasher. We live in an old house and this was an odd, custom job that was executed brilliantly. Jim's communication was fantastic, and he guided us through details of the project that we'd failed to think about. I highly recommend working with him and we'll definitely do so again in the future!

    On initial contact i gave "shopdog turnery" the details on what I was looking for. He was quick to reply, and to the point. Gave a deadline that was met, and a product my wife loves. Well worth every penny and he has my highest recommendations to anyone looking for an excellent craftsman.

    Jim did an amazing job with the Bao Board. It has been a fantastic hit with everyone while we are now on holiday. The design, finish was fantastic, not to mention the polite manner in which the whole project was handled. Well done Jim, enjoy your Christmas and all the best for 2016. Cheers Pat
