All items were invented because of function rather than decoration. Although today functionality is secondary, the simplistic design makes these pieces very appealing to use as a compliment to any décor. The simple hand cut fingers of the oval boxes and carriers combined with the shape and Danish oil finish allow them to fit equally well in most homes. There is nothing like the rich warmth of natural wood. While most items are made of Cherry we like to use Walnut, Maple and some Pine. Figured Maple is especially beautiful when used to make the oval shaped boxes and carriers as well as furniture. The wood is finished with hand applied Danish oil that brings out the rich color of each specie. This process allows the woods to age naturally attaining a natural deep rich color. Cherry wood is especially prized for the richness of color it develops over time. 2 sizes
