These little boxes are wonderful to make. They are turned from a single piece of wood, finished inside and out, and have a removable satin ring holder. Once you remove the insert the box becomes a keepsake box; ideal for any little treasure that comes to hand. These are made from woods native to the United States.
ShopDog Turnery
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.
This was a seamless process from start to finish. The product I received is as good or better than I expected it to be. The price point was very reasonable. Will do business with him in the future for sure. Thank you sir.
Jim was professional and serious about his work.
Great experience and love my new walking stick. Will share photos and comments on Ji Barbour's Custom Made site when I have a chance to take photos.
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.
