Title: "We Come in Peace"
Dimensions: 8 inches high, 12 inches in diameter (opens to 31 inches wide).
Materials: Mahogany (body), Avodire (interior trays), Ebony (hinges, latches, top and base).
Price: $4300 SOLD*
"We Come in Peace" is the latest in my "Hidden Treasure" series. It has four doors, each with a "tray" or "shelf" attached to the inside. There is a fifth tray attached to the center section.

The body is made from 1/16" mahogany veneers laminated to form a solid material. When lathe-turned, this material is extremely stable and exhibits a very interesting "grain" pattern.
The doors swing on ebony hinges, there is an ebony latch to close the upper doors, and a second one to close the lower doors. Notice the light "dot" on the upper latch which appears in the upper right side of the above image. This distinguishes the latch from the hinges when the doors are closed (see the first photo).

Title: "Reliquary II"
Dimensions: 11 inches high,10 inches wide (opens to 17 inches wide), 5 inches deep.
Material: Avodire (body), Ebony ( hinges, latch and interior).
Price: $2000
I designed "Reliquary II" as a display/storage case for a very special piece of jewelry, pocket watch, or objet d'art that one might own. When the latch pin (left side, image below) is removed, the doors swing on ebony hinges at the "shoulders".

The necklace shown above was made by Michele Alexander. This and many other of her wonderful pieces are available at her website www.jewelrybymichele.com.

Title: "Bull's-eye"
Dimensions: 19 inches high, 18 inches wide (opens to 35 inches wide), 8 inches deep.
Materials: Mahogany (body), Avodire (interior trays/shelves), Ebony (hinges, latch, pulls, interior components).
Price: $5500 Sold* (watch for a new version coming in the summer)
This is my most elaborate box yet. It has three doors: two large vertical ones and a smaller, curved horizontal one.
Each of the vertical doors has three shelves attached, and there are seven more shelves attached to the interior of the main body, for a total of 13 shelves. Each shelf is made of avodire, and is lined with black ultrasuede. There are four earring bars attached to the vertical doors, each bar will hang five pairs of earrings. There is also a finger ring holder attached to the inside of each door.

The dark object near the top of the interior space in the image above is a bar with 8 pegs to hold necklaces and chains. The bar swings forward and to the right to reveal a second, similar bar with 6 more pegs. There are 11 pegs on the inside back wall for hanging shorter necklaces or bracelets, and 6 more pegs attached to the first and second shelves.

The small curved door at the top swings up to reveal another lined compartment.

The body is turned from laminated mahogany veneer, as in "We Come in Peace", and the arch at the bottom is made of a bent lamination of the same material. The detail photo above shows the interesting pattern that results from the turning laminated material. It also show the wonderful, warm "glow" of the mahogany.
