			Necklace Case #B-NH1 Do you have some jewelry that needs some organizing?  This client had a lot of necklaces laying in a drawer getting all knotted up.  Hanging them was the solution, but she didn't want them out in the open.  There was a void in her closet wall where I could recess this case and maximize her storage capacity.  It has 4 pull-out panels which hold a total of 68 necklaces on individual stainless steel hooks.  Plus there's 2 drawers for bracelets or watches.  The panels/drawers feature over-extension, ball bearing drawer slides for smooth operation and easy access to the entire panel/drawer.  They pull all the way out.  Everything is lined with padded crushed velvet.  The piece is made from birch wood stained to match the existing decor.  It measures 12"w x 25"h x 11"d.  And by the way, I made those cool, floating, wrap-around shelves, too! Sold $900 Included on-site installation
			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.

	▲Single Reel Boxes	▲Double Reel Boxes	Fly Reel Box #B-LA1&2 A box can be designed to securely hold anything.  This client wanted to hold fly reels.  What better why to secure them than to hold them exactly the way the fishing rod holds them, by the foot.  The single reel boxes are made from cherry wood with a curly, spalted maple top, and they measure 5"w x 5"d x 4"h.  The double reel boxes are made from cherry with a highly figured redwood top with a wenge frame, and they measure 9"w x 5"d x 5"h.  They're hinged at the back, they have magnets to keep the lid down, and the bottoms are lined in padded crushed velvet in the color of your choice.

			Small Box #B-UG1 I can get you into a small, affordable box that will still make a great impression.  The box was made from an off-cut of quilted maple from the first guitar I built.  You never throw wood away that has that spectacular grain.  The top is extra copper from our kitchen remodel a few years back.  The artist sprays copper sheets with different chemicals to get the different colors and random pattern.  The padded crushed velvet inside was our first Christmas tree skirt from over 20 years ago.  It's a modest size at 4" x 4" x 2 1/2"h, but I can make yours any size you want to fit what you need. Do you have some random materials that might be able to tell your story?  I can keep costs lower if I can use leftover materials; maybe you have some. Sold $60
			Individual Ring Box #B-MF1 If you have a special treasure like an engagement ring, don't hand it off in that cheap plastic box they give you at the jewelry store.  Kick the presentation up a notch.  This small box was made from tiger maple with a figured redwood top.  The interior is foam with a velvet covering, very elegant.  It's 3" x 3" x 2 1/2"h This is the least expensive box I can make.  I keep costs low by using leftover wood and no hardware (the lid is friction fit).  You'll get a nice box, but you'll need to browse my scrap pile to see what's available. Sold $40
			Atari Organizer #B-OH1 Classic video games are a pretty big deal.  The Atari 2600 came out in the late 70's, and it is surprising that these still work.  This organizer is made from walnut with quilted maple handles and an Atari logo inlaid into the front medallion.  Everything is held perfectly in subdivided compartments from the game cartridges, to the paddles and joysticks, even space for the cables.  When you're ready to play, just pull it out to your sofa and uncoil the cable (sorry, no wireless back in the day). Atari aside, I can subdivide a box or tray to precisely fit anything you want.  Everything has a spot and you can take inventory at a glance. Sold $400
