  • Treasure box

    Treasures and trinkets

    This sleek, modern design goes well just about anywhere, but the overall design can be easily adjusted by changing some details. A different style of lid, adding some texture to the curved sides or adjusting the proportions of the box will all work wonders when it comes time to customize your box.

    Making Turned Boxes

    The great thing about box making is that it can be a good way of using up a small piece of wood, even an offcut, that might otherwise end up being discarded. It can be transformed into a thing of beauty, using your imagination, originality and skill.
