===============================
Order any box (keepsake, memory, wine, watch) along with a valet box and take $30 off your order using coupon code "VALETCOMBO" during checkout.
A great way to add a complementary valet tray for your box or vice versa. And if you’re looking for just one of these for a gift… well… it’s an incentive for you to grab something for yourself (or another loved one) and save a little cash!
================================
One of my unique, signature products are keepsake boxes lined in hand-selected Kimono Silks. So, naturally I had to make a wooden tray lined in Kimono Silk as well. In a very warm pairing of complementary materials, this tray is made from Figured Cherry and lined in Cherry Blossom patterned silk.
This piece of silk is decorated with a beautiful dyed, hand painted and printed blossoming branches of White Cherry Blossom Flowers which trail down the length of the silk, some flowers are picked out in a soft orange pink / yellow color. The background silk is a shaded orange pink or "salmon pink" color and highlights the flower pattern beautifully. The silk has a lovely "satiny" texture and feel.
This lining is upholstered so that your items comfortably sit on a cushioned surface.
If a wooden tray can be a conversation piece, this unique and elegant tray is up to the challenge! Only one in the world... until I make more of course... :-)
I find that pictures just don't capture the real life appeal of my boxes so I shoot videos when I can. Please see video of this box here:

The joinery on this box is miters with Walnut miter keys which have a dual purpose in adding both a decorative element as well as making the miter joint stronger.
Finished with a variety of products to enhance the grain as well as provide a high-shine appearance. Finishing is the most variable and potentially complex part of woodworking. I easily spend the majority of time in my builds in finishing. Many stages... many products are involved in order to achieve what you see in my final products.
I sign and date the underside of these boxes.
