This butternut box was finger-jointed and shaped, then a laminated handle was added.  Inside are two posts for holding the rings of the dearly beloved.  The posts can be removed to offer future uses for the box after the nuptials.

This handle was made from laminated cherry, sassafras and ash layers.

This tote was made entirely from reclaimed wooden boat materials. The handle is pinned for eventual replacement when it wears out. The interior of the tote is painted, but the remainder of the finishes are original with a light coating of linseed oil. These boxes are meant to look old and unusual, but are fully functional for real use and work.
