I was so happy when Andrea asked me to make a Ring Box for her wedding last June, and I made these four boxes. She chose the curly maple and walnut box bottom center.

It took awhile, but I've started playing with wood again, and I'm working with some pill boxes. This is my first effort - a little primitive, but the carving, the smell of the wood, the sanding and oiling, it all feels so good.

I have some photos from my "box-making" days back in the 60s and 70s in this blog: http://crlazlomeanderings2.blogspot.com/2016/07/blog-post.html
