BOXES
There is always a reluctance by woodworkers to discard those small offcuts that inevitably result from making larger objects – they are just too beautiful to waste!
When I started making boxes, I began to draw on years of accumulation and provide myself with justification for having kept all those small pieces of timber.
Most of my boxes utilise contrasting species with the lid as the feature point. Sometimes highly figured veneer is employed. Styling is simple and contemporary. Every box is unique in dimensions, materials and design depending on what is available.
A nice box is a wonderful personal treasure chest for all sorts of small objects that you may wish to store in a special way or have at hand for daily use.
