Sometimes I just make things to explore new avenues of art or to learn a new technique (sometimes I just have nothing better to do!).  I'll always try to keep a few things on this page which are available for immediate delivery for that last minute gift idea. Beauty is in the details.  Click on the photos to see them in a larger size.  Use your browser's "Back" button to return.

Custom art glass personalized for you INCLUDED!		Jewelry Box #B-IC3 (in Mahogany) Stunning and unique!  This Art Deco design is accentuated with angled legs and arching tops.  The side panels are in figured mahogany with an exotic lacewood inset band and wenge trim; the front and back are vivid tiger maple; and there's a lovely velvet-lined blue interior. This box is shown with a simple textured glass insert.  However, I will make you a personalized stained glass top with your monogram or any other design you desire (for no additional cost!). The interior of the case is lit with LED's which cast a subtle glow beneath the stained glass.  There's ample, velvet-lined storage under the lid and in the drawer.  The drawer operates smoothly on full-extension, ball-bearing slides which allow complete access to the rear of the drawer.  Strong, box-joint drawer construction as well as solid brass hinges on the lid will provide a lifetime of service.  At 20"w x 18"d x 10"h, it's big enough to hold a lot of jewelry, but you can always customize your order to add a few more drawers so your collection has room to grow. $1,200 Available Now
Custom art glass personalized for you INCLUDED!		Jewelry Box #B-IC2 (in Cherry) Similar in design to the box above, this one has side panels in beautiful, figured cherry wood and a velvet-lined, green interior.  The legs and arches are done in mahogany.  The sides are adorned with ribbed trim made from maple and walnut. As with all the boxes in this series, the front, top, and back are a spectacular, vivid, tiger maple.  This box is shown with a simple textured glass insert.  However, I will make you a personalized stained glass top with your monogram or any other design you desire (for no additional cost!). See the entry above for more details and features. $1,200 Available Now

		Modern Box #B-RB1 Boxes can stretch the imagination.  The curly maple is the star of the show while the walnut and padauk accents sing harmony.  It truly asks for attention and exploration.  The box measures 19"w x 14"d x 14"h, but since the interior has removable trays which are fully subdivided, it can hold a lot more than you think.  Solid brass hinges with a built-in stop will provide a lifetime of service.  The interior has a padded crushed velvet bottom in luxurious sapphire blue.  It's finished with lacquer and buffed out to a mirror-like finish. $900 Available Now

		Copper Top Box #B-UF1 The crowning feature of this box is the incredible copper top.  The copper was sprayed with various chemicals which reacted with the metal to create the magic.  It was then buffed out to a highly reflective gloss.  The case was made from highly figured sapele pomelle, which has a 3D popcorn-like appearance that dances when you walk by it.  There are also accents of curly maple and wenge wood. The interior is subdivided and lined with padded, navy blue crushed velvet.  The underside of the lid is a textured laminate.  Solid brass hinges with a built-in stop will provide a lifetime of service. This can be personalized with your monogram on the lower front disc (included with the price).  At 23"w x 14"d x 7"h, it can certainly hold many items. $900 AVAILABLE NOW!

		Jewelry Box #B-ND1 Figured woods abound in this dazzling box!  The case is made from figured walnut.  It's topped off with an impressive piece of quilted redwood banded by curly maple buffed out to a high gloss.  The finger inset is in quilted maple.  Opening the box, you'll find a subdivided lift-out tray with a padded crushed velvet bottom.  Under the tray, the box is subdivided again to keep all your treasures safe and organized.  This piece measures 13"w x 8"d x 5"h. $600 Available Now

		Ring Box #B-IJ1 For the woman who has more rings than she has fingers, this beautiful jewelry box can hold up to 72 rings in pre-punched slots!  What a great way to frame her jewelry collection.  It also features a divided, padded-velvet-lined, sliding tray to hold other treasures.  Incredibly figured and colored, the top is made of quilted, spalted, maple.  The sides are in rich, red bloodwood from South America accented with maple and wenge trim.  The top was hand-rubbed to a very highly reflective, gloss finish.  This piece measures 16"w x 9"d x 3 1/2"h.  Solid brass hinges will provide a lifetime of service.  If you want the box in a different size, subdivided in a different manner, or of a different wood - no problem.  I will make a jewelry box specifically for you to your specifications. $450 Available Now

		Cutting Board with Steampunk Stand #O-SL2a This is not your mama's cutting board.  Massive, heavy, sturdy, and beautiful (which, ironically, may also describe your mama).  Professional quality for the kitchen or as a catering display riser.  The end grain (butcher block) top is made from solid maple, walnut, and cherry.  The board is finished with a food grade oil wax and is 21" x 18" x 2". The waaay-cool Steampunk stand is made from 3/4" black iron pipe.  The vintage LED bulb is turned on with the plumbing valve below.  It has a gratuitous pressure gage.  The chunky wood feet are painted to match and have rubber soles.  The handles can double to hold towels or tongs.  It even has a vintage braided power cord. The whole ensemble measures a commanding 27"w x 21"d x 30"h.  This will be more of a serving riser rather than a daily chopper.  What a centerpiece!  You can have this right now, but you'll have to pick it up in St. Louis.  It's too big and heavy to ship. $850 Available Now St. Louis pickup only; this thing is big

		Cutting Board with Brass Legs #O-SL2b This is probably more of a display riser than a cutting board.  The cutting board portion is end grain made from 2" thick solid maple, walnut, and cherry.  They're all glued up in a "confetti" style pattern that will have people wondering how in the hell that was done.  The sapele wood frame is lustrous and shimmers.  The board is support on stocky brass furniture legs.  There are finger grips routed in under the top.  It commands the center of your table at 21"w x 16"d x 8"h. $450 Available Now

		Stained Glass Desk Lamp #G-TF1 This Frank Lloyd Wright inspired desk lamp will make the perfect focal point for your space.  At 28"w x 14"d x 17"h it commands attention, and it deserves it.  It's made from cherry wood and is rich in detail.  Four candelabra LED bulbs are powered by on/off and dimmer switches.  The tray is lined with real-deal, olive-toned leather.  There's even a 5-port USB charger built in!  It's all powered up via a cloth-braided cord.  And yes, I can make you those stained glass windows to go with it. Sold $1600  AVAILABLE NOW!
