Halfmoon Boxes

 

I call these my "Halfmoon" boxes. Viewed from the side they are almost semicircular, hence the name. Each has drawers that run on dovetail slides. The drawer sides are made of Spanish cedar, for the wonderful aroma, and each one is individually shaped to fit the inside contours of the box body. The bottom of each drawer is lined with black velvet. Please scroll down to see details of these and other halfmoon boxes.

 

 

             

"Wilma's Ghost". This is my newest halfmoon box, it is made of Lysiloma, with Rosewood pulls and accents. Both came from trees that blew down during Hurricane Wilma in Palm Beach County, FL.14" tall, 4.5" wide and 10" deep. Price: $3000.

 

 

 

"Bubba". This is a very tall, slender, and elegant box, 17.5" tall, 3.75" wide and 13" deep.  It has nine drawers, the most I've put in any halfmoon. The wood is pommele bubinga, with ebony pulls and avodire accents.  Price: $3900.

 

 

                    

  

"Cubilquitzensis". Rosewood (dalbergia cubilquitzensis), with Indian tamarind pulls and holly accents, 13" tall, 5.75" wide, 11" deep. This is a broad, stout box. I really like the contrast between the rich heartwood and the cream-colored sapwood. Price: $3100.
