One of my unique, signature products are keepsake boxes lined in hand-selected Kimono Silks. Following on that theme I'm now making wooden trays with these silks as well. This tray features a very nice, textured silk in a floral motif. The texture in the silk makes a nice pairing with the textural visual of the tiger oak.
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.
I hand selected this light brown suede fabric for this box. This lining is upholstered so that your items comfortably sit on a cushioned surface.

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.
