This box is made out of left over pieces of Elm and Oak. The sides were inspired by a gate that my uncle built for my folks. It was quite a challenge figuring out how to weave the pieces together, but I think the result speaks for itself.

I have always been the artistic type. I enjoy creating something from nothing, and I have found my calling in wood. After receiving a certificate in architectural woodwork, I was having no luck finding work in the field. So, out of my tiny 4x8 foot back porch, I decided to start up my own business in custom woodwork. Generally, I prefer to use recycled materials like broken down furniture pieces, old pallets, or construction site scraps. I also prefer to use hand tools. The only exception is my Dremel for carving, a cordless drill, and a small power sander for speeding up restoration projects. I find that hand tools give everything I make more soul and a true blood and sweat quality. These methods were born out of necessity. Starting out with a budget of $0, all I have is whatever tools I have been able acquire over the years and whatever materials I can find. I am new to the small business world, but with opportunities like CustomMade, the undying support of my better half, and little luck, I will make my mark in the wood world and grow this business beyond my tiny back porch.
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

For Simple wooden boxes without a lid (for art project) ProjectCraftsman was very easy to work with. We had great communication. The work he did was really beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Hoping to work with him again.
