Heart Shaped Jewelry Box
I sculpted this complicated heart shaped jewelry box from very thick cherry wood slabs, remooving 90% of the wood. The interior is box within box within box, all red velvet lined. Also i made a sculpted drawer on each side. The lid, i carved raised lettering and gilded it with 23 karat gold leaf. The hinges are expensive brusso hinges. Size is approximately 12 inches by 12 x 8 inches high, with the lid steeply slanted. All in the organic Art Nouveau style.

Working alone, I state working alone because nearly everything that I design and make are works of art made by me alone and signed by me for 20+ years, Ralph produces furnishings and signs rebelling against "mechanical mediocrity" refusing to work within the limitations imposed by machines and produce objets d'art which can only be accomplished with many hours/days/weeks/months of hand tooling.
To summarize, I am an artisan, not merely a furniture maker. Thank you for your interest in my fascination.
