Cufflinks are quite personal so having a set to commemorate an event or person seems appropriate. The asymetric set is from olive wood, carved in the shape of the island of Ikaria, Greece. Engraved on each cufflink is an image of Icarus falling, from the legend. The other two are to commemorate and individual's time in Marine Force Recon, and a trip to London. These come with a box from pasteboard. If you prefer a wooden box, like the one shown, I can, of course, make one for you.

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.
