Furniture  /  Smalls

The small things, built with the same hands as the big ones.

Boxes and keepsakes in solid hardwood and figured woods — joined at the corners with exposed splines, lidded with burl and curl, and finished by hand. The good offcuts of a lifetime of furniture, made into things worth keeping.

The collection

Built to outlast what they hold.

Boxes made from the figured offcuts the big pieces can't use — solid wood, exposed joinery, a panel of burl or curl where your eye lands. Start with a form below, then choose the wood and the size. Each one is genuinely one of a kind.

An open walnut keepsake box showing a divided interior tray and a lid framing a panel of maple burl, with contrasting corner splines Keepsake A deeper box with a lift-off lid framing a panel of burl or curl, and a divided tray inside for rings, watches, the small things that need a place. The corners are splined in a contrasting wood and left in view. Shown in walnut with maple burl; made in the wood you choose.

One piece of figured wood carried around all four sides (here, lacewood), with a lid that lifts clean off. Plain, useful, and built to outlast the habit of losing your keys. View design →

Tell me what it's for and roughly how big — a ring box, a watch case, a catch-all for the hall — and a wood you love. Smalls are where I use the figured offcuts the big pieces can't, so each one is genuinely one of a kind.
