A small and
intimate custom woodcraft shop
Don, Owner/designer/craftsman, started
making handcrafted hardwood boxes as a hobby. His love for wood working
turned into a passion to design and build the perfect
piece. Now in
just a few years, is offering a line of beautiful solid hardwood boxes,
ranging from business card boxes, to Jewelry / Valet Boxes.
All Boxes are individually hand made.
Don likes to keeps to his own design style, but is
always up to the challenge of customized work. Therefore you will see similar boxes, but
none are exactly the same. In order to keep the uniqueness about the
boxes, mass producing is out of the picture. Not that Don has not
tried
to make more that one at a time, however they still all
turned out a little different. To view go to The Box Gallery.
