Carved Ring Box
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

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.

Mar 19, 2017I started out searching the Internet for a Zelda walking stick. I was unsuccessful at finding one but instead I found this amazing website and woodworker. The artist created an one of a kind piece that was both functional and unique. He was easy to work with communicated well and very professional. In the end he turned the physical reminder of my husband's limitations into something he is proud to use.
