I love working with wood and enjoy making nice wooden boxes.
Here a few of the boxes that I have made. I make various small wooden
boxes from different hardwoods, some of which are inlaid with bandings
- some are veneered, including jewellery boxes, pencil boxes and music
boxes.
I have always found wooden boxes intriguing. A wooden box invites you
to discover what is inside it.
Fine wooden boxes are particularly alluring; a well-made box entices
you to touch all its surfaces and examine how it was made.
The three little boxes shown below were displayed at the RAG Artists & Makers Exhibition,
at St Matthew's Church, Tarring Road, Worthing, West Sussex, on 4th
& 5th June 2004.
