Carved Ring Box

$110

A ring box can be made in many different shapes. The samples here are a seashell to commemorate the fact that he proposed on a dive, and an acorn to commemorate special oak trees in the lives of those who got these boxes. Other shapes can be undertaken as you wish. Close collaboration is essential in this type of project. ————————————————————— KEYWORDS: engagement, engagement ring, ring box, will you marry me, proposal, small box

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Fast shipper

    Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

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 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

    Mr. Barbour was a pleasure to work with. As a newcomer to CM, he was extremely helpful with suggesting best practice for my desired product. His correspondence was professional, shipping very timely and I plan to work with him again. I would highly recommend Mr. Barbour for your custom woodworkjng project.
