Boxes for special occasions
Each hand-made box has a very special meaning for the recipient, who uses it to store treasured items. Consider gifting one of these to a person close to you.
Available treasure boxes
I have enjoyed creating a series of boxes. For the romantic among us, one of these would be ideal for storing love letters. For the more practical, these are ideal for storing stacks of bills and notices (and thus clearing your desk!) These boxes are crafted of various hardwoods with either box-joints or miter joints. They are all approximately 14" long by 10" wide by 3 to 4" deep. The handle is hand-shaped walnut or bubinga.
