Exotic Engagement Ring Boxs
The objective of these little is to create a box that could be easily concealed in a jacket pocket until the proper moment. They are roughly 3.25" wide and 2" tall. The lid and base are fairly thin to keep the exterior height down and still accommodate a ring. These are made from exotic woods, mostly of the rosewood group - in this case Cocobolo. They feel wonderful in the hand and are quite striking to the eye. ————————————————————— KEYWORDS: engagement, engagement ring, ring box, will you marry me, proposal, small box

Meet the Maker

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.
