These sets are made with two contrasting woods to establish the foursomes. As with all the sets they come with a box from furniture grade wood, engraved as you wish. They are sealed with Velvit Oil, buffed and waxed with Carnauba, ready for play. ————————————————————— KEYWORDS: bocce, lawn games, games, balls, bocce set, wedding games, sport, Italian games, outdoor games, outdoors These are NOT competition sets.

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.

For Paula's Cutting BoardJim was very communicative from the start and we were able to watch the progress of our board being made on his Instagram. The board arrived quickly and the work is absolutely stunning. He also included meticulous instructions on how to prep the board before use and how to care for it in order to keep it functional and looking beautiful. The dimensions and details were specific to what we requested. I highly recommend Mr. Barbour for your custom made job!
