These boxes are approximately 2" across, depending on the shape of
the box.
These boxes are not available for sale. They are shown here as examples of what I can make and what you can order. For boxes that are for sale see Engagement Boxes 1 & 2.
#B1 Rosette
This box is made of solid Padauk, a naturally deep red wood. The rosette is Maple Pomelle, Poplar and Madrone Burl.
#B2 Damask
All sides of this box are covered with a damask pattern made of dyed black veneer and holly wood. You can expect to pay around $430 for a box like this.
#B3 Celtic Cross
Two ribbons make up this Celtic Cross, one of Maple and the other of Poplar. The weave is accentuated by shadows which are burned into the wood.
#B4 Sandals
The sandals on this box are Paua/Abalone which has been dyed green. The straps are dyed blue veneer and the box is Birdseye Maple. The lettering is done with laser engraving which is filled with wood filler.
#B5 Tropical Sunset
Single ring box with a tropical sunset on the lid. The sky and water is eucalyptus and the tree fronds are turtleback poplar. Hand-rubbed Danish oil finish.
#B6 Sailboat
This ebony box with silver hinges and black velvet lining has a small sailboat in the inside of the lid. As this area is only 1.25" in diameter I can only put very small, simple designs on the inside of the lid.
#B7 Silver DJ
I cut the DJ symbol from silver and inlaid into a hexagonal ebony box. The silver on black is very striking.
#B8 Infinite LT
The L and T letters are done in two different kinds of shell so they shimmer differently. The box is Spalted Maple and the background behind the letters is Olive Ash.
#B9 Cali Forever
I ordered a piece of manzanita burl specially to make this box as the customer wanted a species of wood that grew in California. I then used a redwood burl background behind the "forever" character. Hand-rubbed Danish oil finish.
#B10 Single Rectangular box
This 2.5" x 1.75" Mahogany box holds a single ring. It is mahogany with a black velvet lining and silver plated barrel hinges. Note how the slot for the ring is cut so that the ring would lie a little forward rather than straight up.
#B11 Infinite Love
This rectangular box is made of Canarywood which is light yellow. The background is Koto (used in Japan for making musical instruments) and Madrone Burl Love. The Infinity sign is also made of Koto, with the grain running perpendicular to the background.
#B12 Korean Infinite Love
Another Infinite Love box but with Love written in Korean. If you can provide me with the text I can do it in any language. Here the box is Mahogany, Madrone Burl background, Pearwood Infinity symbol and Maple Love.
#B13 Emeral D Padauk ring box
The shape of this box is the same shape as the Emeral cut stone in the ring. The hinges are to the back as can be seen in the image of the open box to the right.
#B14 Emerald D Padauk ring box
#B15 Barefoot
If you have a logo or emblem you would like on the box just supply me with a picture or photograph of the image and I will do a marquetry rendering of it.
#B16 Superman Ring Box
Ebony box with silver Superman symbol inlaid into the lid. The edges of the box have been routed to create a step molding on each side. This is quite a challenge on such a small box.
#B17 Masur Birch
This shows the inside of a Masur Birch box with black velvet lining and silver plated hinges. The grain of this wood is particularly beautiful.
#B18 Square, Domed 2" Walnut box
This shows a ring in a square Walnut box with domed lid and front. Brass hinges.
#B19 Abalone / Paua heart
The heart on this box is made of a shell known as Abalone or Paua. The shell is sliced into thin sheets which are then fused together to form a larger sheet, which makes it possible to create images up to 4" wide using the shell.
#B20 Ganesh
This box is made of mahogany with a satinwood Indian elephant, Ganesh. The lid is domed and the front is rounded.
#B21 Cupcake
Square Maple box with a cupcake design on the lid. The cup is fiddleback Mahogany, the cake is Birch, the chocolate icing is Walnut and a Cherry cherry. 2" solid maple box.
#B22 Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada
This single ring box depicts the scene of Lake Louise as viewed from the Chateau. I used Maple for the sky, some mystery wood for the snow-covered peaks, Walnut for the closest hill and Turtleback Poplar for the opposite hill. I used a dyed piece of veneer for the water.
3" Solid Ring Boxes: These boxes are larger to accommodate more intricate designs on the lid. They are still single ring boxes, just larger. The cushion can, however, be made to take two rings.
#C1 Solid 3"x3" Rosewood box
This box is made of a solid piece of Honduras Rosewood which was dyed red. The piece of wood was cut to form a lid and base. To the right you can see the inside. The ring insert is made to hold a single ring. The slit can however be made wider to accommodate to rings next to each other as they would appear when worn.
#C2 Single 3"x3" Solid ring box
This shows the inside of the 3" solid box for a single ring. Black velvet lining with silver plated hinges.
#C3 Celtic Star 3" box
The front of this Walnut Burl box has been rounded and the top edges have been chamfered. The Celtic knot is done is Pearwood. The weave has been accentuated by burning the tips of the "ribbons" in hot sand, thereby charring them to form shadows.
#C4 Sunset Surprise 3" box
This ring box has slightly rounded corners and a domed lid. It is made from a solid block of Mahogany. The background is Kevazinga, Movingue circle, Paduak sun and Turtleback Poplar waves.
#C5 Frangipani 3" single ring box
I made this box larger to accommodate all the detail that had to go on the lid. It would not be possible to put this much detail on a 2" box. The box is mahogany, the background madrone and the flower and lettering is done with dyed veneers.
#C6 Ginger Sun ring box
I am able to do more intricate designs on 3" boxes as they allow more room for the design on the lid. Tatajyva box with Movingue background, Bloodwood, Cherry and Padauk rays.
#D1 Lea Magnolia 3" Walnut Box
This is a 3" x 3" x 2" 4-sided box with no rounding. Walnut Burl background on a Walnut box. The flower is holly which has been burned to create shading.
#D2 3" Multi-ring box
Walnut box with brown fabric insert and silver hinges.
#D3 Mahogany 3" double ring box
This 3" box is made to hold an engagement ring and wedding band. It can later be used to hold up to 4 rings.
#D4 Multi-ring 4" x 4" box
This shows the inside of a 4" Mahogany box with two slits to hold several rings. The red dots in front are to cover Rare Earth magnets which hold the box closed. This is only needed on boxes larger than 3".
#D5 Lovekey 3" box
The lettering on this box is a laser engraving which has been filled. The box contains a lock, as can be seen in the image to the right. Adding a brass lock will add $80 to the overall price of the box. Silver plating of the lock is an additional $40.
#D6 Lock & Key
The lock mechanism was silver plated to match the hinges and the ring.
#D7 Dove 3-1/4" Musical Ring Box
The dove is done with Holly and dyed Maple on a Mahogany background. Even though this design would have fitted on a 2" square box it had to be a larger box to accommodate the musical movement on the inside, pictured to the right.
#D8 Musical Ring Box
The inside of this 3-1/4" square ring box has a musical movement in it. Note the black cushion in the front of the box which accepts the ring. You can pick the tune it plays.
#D9 Walnut 4"x3" box with curved front
The lettering on this box is done with dyed blue veneer with a natural dark brown Walnut burl background. Hand-rubbed Danish oil finish.
#D10 Walnut 4"x3" box with curved front
Here you can see the curved front of the box. The light blue insert can hold multiple rings.
