Pieces built from select, or "special", woods will be featured here. From time to time we get some wood with really nice grain patterns and save it back for a special project. These items will be shown on this page as time allows photos to be organized and uploaded.
If you are thinking of a special wood for your custom piece(s), please feel free to contact us with your ideas.

Above, a custom cabinet made from "Curly" Maple. This one holds 5 knives, has black velvet for the background, door is hinged on right, with rests and door pull custom made from antler. It measures 21" tall x 15" wide.
The grain on this maple "pops" right off the surface at you, absolutely beautiful figure!

Please note: I didn't have anything to do with the figure of the wood, that is all God's handiwork. : )

This particular cabinet prices at $587.32

Carving Set Presentation/Storage Box

 A custom Storage-Presentation box for the Randall 3 pc carving set. This one is made out of solid leopard wood. The inserts, or "holders", are also made from leopard wood with felt on each end to allow them to fit snugly and still be removable or adjustable (to move closer together/further apart to fit different sets as needed). The bottom is lined with navy blue felt instead of velvet, and the inserst are lined with the same felt where the carving set rests.

This piece has all hidden joinery with no brad holes on the outside surface. This one is completely smooth with no interuptions whatsoever on the surface, inside or out, just clean straight lines. The idea I was striving for on this one was not too fancy, but "simple lines". The carving set to go inside this box was for a gift, and it being the main focus, I wanted the box to be beautiful wood but nothing more than just a box... not something that draws your attention from the carving set itself. The finish is glass smooth, with the wood having very nice figure to add natural beauty that I had nothing to do with myself. Then the straight lines and flat sides accomplish my goal of function and beauty meeting midway, I think anyway, and will simply house a soon to be family heirloom passed down to their children years from now.

Spalted Maple
This cabinet made from some highly figured Spalted maple. The spalting is actually a disease the tree gets that can kill it, but when cut into board form it provides some incredibly beautiful designs. We don't get a lot of spalted maple, but can check availability for you. With a little searching, and some patience, we can usually find some that will work nicely to build you a custom piece.

This particular cabinet measures 32" tall x 19 1/2" wide, but of course can be custom sized to fit your collection and needs.
This one prices at $689.63
