Hand Carved Cherry Jewelry Box
This cherry jewelry box starts as a simple square boring box. I make up the design of the box as I go, I usually base the design off of the way the wood looks and feels. With this particular box, I added an exotic African wood called, Padauk, which blends well with the cherry wood. When I finish constructing the box, I sculpt the box by hand with a wood grinder. To finish it off, I coat the entire box with 5 coats of danish oil. Then I finish the interior off with red felt. The lid is hinged with hidden from the outside, brass barrel hinges. Each box is made unique and is one of a kind. The finished size of the box is 4 3/4" tall, 7" deep, and 11" wide.

Kyle's Woodworking
I started woodworking when i was just 12 years old in 2005. In 2010, I designed and started my own website, that now has over 20,000 views. I now enjoy woodworking so much, that I would like to do it full time. I joined Custom Made to expand my reach to new customers that are looking for a custom piece of woodwork to be made. I am a young woodworker and woodworking is one of my many talents. I can make just about anything you can think of out of wood, from furniture to signs, to custom pieces, and much more. Check out my website for some examples of my work.

Jan 21, 2015Kyle was a pleasure to work with. Every aspect of this project--from beginning to end--was flawless, even with a few hiccups on my end. It's easy to see that he takes a lot of pride in his work, as it shows in the product itself to the way he conducts business. A++++
