"Matilda" Style Box
This box is my version of the chocolate box in the movie "Matilda". It's not an exact copy, but the gold and silver carving patterns are very close to the movie box. This is the first box pictured. I also have made several custom variations. Pick one of those, or give me your ideas for a custom design. I have some variations of this box from which you can choose. The original box is made with black walnut and embellished with gold-painted carvings and brass feet. The "Giles" box is in cherry with V carvings unpainted and antique brass feet - my personal favorite. The box with oak leaves and acorns carvings is hickory, and was done per specific customer request of that pattern. Boxes can be personalized with names, initials, or short phrases under the lid. What ideas do you have to personalize your box? I would love to discuss them with you. Boxes are about 10" long, 7.5" wide, and 5" tall not including feet. Custom sizes are possible. Price starts at $299 and varies depending upon options. The first box with gold and silver is $329.

"Digital and traditional design and woodworking"
I've been a woodworker since I was a kid in my dad's shop. Over the years I have built many items of furniture and cabinets for myself and family members, adding to my skills and suite of tools to enable me to do more intricate and complex projects. I added a CNC router to my tools a while back, which has enabled me to expand my shop's capabilities. In fact, I have won my CNC manufacturer's nationwide contest for woodworking two years in a row.
About five years ago, I opened carveshop.com and started taking on specialty projects. I really enjoy making custom and personalized items, and taking on new and exciting projects that challenge me and expand my skills.
I would love to make something unique and special for you.
