Boxes are fascinating. Because of the size you can afford to employ exotic materials or execute intricate designs that would be impossible on larger furniture works. Boxes are a "6-inch" project--detail and precision are critical since viewers will be up close and personal. From a functional perspective, boxes offer a wide variety of options (lids, corners, feet, drawers, doors, and hardware) that can be combined in endless forms. Tell me what you want to put in a box and I can develop a custom design for you.

Walnut recipe box with box-joint corners. The marquetry design on the lid is a heart enclosing crossed rolling pin and spoon. The ribbon reads, "Coquere Amare"--to cook is to love.
