"Teardrop" box
The almost seamless fit to this beautiful box makes it hard to
believe that it comes apart. It has been likened to a Hershey's
Kiss, although when I first made it I lived in England and had
never seen one. It is available in Cocobolo or African Blackwood.
Perfect in itself, this would be the ultimate box in which to
give a piece of precious jewellery.

"Saturn" box
This box is turned and textured in African Blackwood.When I first finish
a box I frequently have to put it away for a little while and do something
else. The intense period of design and creation seems to blind me to that
piece temporarily. This was true of this Saturn Box, as when I completed
it I wasn't sure I liked it. My wife convinced me to enter it for the 'Best
New Product' at the NS Designer Crafts Council where it won. This was my
first box in the Astronomy theme.
Size:
Approximately 70 mm diameter x 75 mm tall

"Drop" box
Inspired by a drop of water falling into liquid, the
quality of the African Blackwood it is made from gives this box a lovely
fluidity.
Tom Mason of the Halifax Chronicle Herald wrote of this box: "A wooden
drop of liquid compresses a pond shaped box into a distinctive doughnut,
as if frozen by high-speed photography."
Size: Approximately 65 mm diameter x 70 mm tall
I have made a series of drops, starting long and ending with the drop quite
low in the base, which makes a lovely grouping.

"Tray" box
This African Blackwood box has its own secret, the French Boxwood tray
that seats so snugly into the base, such a good fit that it's almost
pulled down by suction. The ring post in the tray also serves to lift
it up to store treasures underneath in the black interior. Part of the
lid is textured in contrast.
Size:
Approximately 65 mm diameter x 30 mm tall

Adjustable
height candlestick
This
unusual candlestick is a reproduction of an 18th century one.
I love to burn candles, find them to be romantic and mood enhancing
and consequently am always on the lookout for different candlesticks.
The arms twist up and down the threaded column, incorporating
at the base a hand grip for carrying it. Taking up less space
than a full size candleabra, it makes a conversation piece
for dining table or living room. To order only.
Size:
Approximately 325 mm high 200 mm wide
