Wood Wallet And Business Card Holder
Extremely unique and smooth sexy feeling Wood Wallet made from Sycamore and Blackwood trim by Perfect45Degree. Sycamore is one of the most beautiful woods I have worked with to date. It has such varied grain patterns that each wallet I make with it looks unique. I have built several Coffee tables with it, enough to know I love Sycamore! Holds about 7 credit cards with a few business cards or a little cash. Wood will vary as each piece has its own character. Wood hinge, tiny magnetic closure that really works! These make excellent birthday presents, groomsman gifts or holiday gifts . . . buy or order yours today! Ask me about my wholesale policies. Hand made by me, Jacquelyn Smith, in my Oregon wood shop! Made in the USA

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been living in the Pacific Northwest since 1991 and currently work in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a fast growing hub of creative energy and inspired Makers. I am one. For me, it has always been about line, shape, function and lets not forget . . . wood. I am awed by it's unique nature and delighted that I get the opportunity to work with it everyday. Each board and every species has it's own unique characteristics. A wild example is the Huon Pine from Tasmania. It is the oldest living tree on the planet at 10, 500 years. They start to reproduce 600 to 800 years of age. That helps put some perspective in the realm of us and them!
The intention behind my work is to highlight the qualities of each piece of wood I handle, to give it a new life, and to help us appreciate and see it for what it is. I am often given the great pleasure to make gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays and just something sweet. What a special honor it is to be the maker of a gift! I get the sweet view of seeing a person love another. Isn't that what it's all about?
My background in both fine art and the construction industry has given me an unusual approach to woodworking and furniture making. I am an artist who makes usable, beautiful objects with wood that I hope will say something about us.
I have a BFA from Cooper Union in NYC, NY and was a contractor for over 15 years designing and remodeling homes in New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Eugene, Oregon. While studying fine art and learning how to carve wood I also studied woodworking and cabinetry. Later I worked for a couple of architectural woodworking shops in Oregon where I learned in a commercial environment making one off custom work.
I make furniture, woodwork , sculpture, laptop stands, specialty boxes, jewelry and probably something else by the time you read this. I love to design and build my own work as well as contract commissions for clients. My passion lies in discovery and invention and the challenge to make something useful in the most beautiful way possible.
I hope you enjoy!

For Wood Wallet And Business Card Holder4.3The wooden wallet is stunningly beautiful. It shows a level of expertise and attention to detail not often found even in very high-end products. The fit and finish make holding and using the wallet very pleasing. This is an heirloom piece I will cherish. Although completion of it took longer than expected, this item is well worth the wait!

For Music box5.0I asked Jacquelyn to make a music box as an anniversary gift for my wife. I provided a detailed list of construction requirements and a sketch of the top inlay…you could say I was a bit needy :). She gladly turned that list and sketch into a beautiful heirloom that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear. The box exceeded my expectations. Jacquelyn was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. My wife absolutely loved the music box!

For Playing Card Case To Hold 67 Cards!5.0I ordered a custom sized box to fit a deck of 63 cards, and what I got blew away my expectations. The box fit the deck perfectly, and was gorgeously finished, with perfectly placed logo engraved, tight inlays, and clear craftsmanship. I placed the order and was in no real hurry, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was a slow turn around. So I was offered a second box free! It was also absolutely gorgeous and well made. Throughout, communication was timely, addressed my concerns and questions clearly, and overall friendly and approachable. This artist is highly recommended, for her integrity as well as her craftsmanship.
