Flower Box-inspired by Normand Leslie
Wooden tool boxes were once very common. I can remember both my father and grandfather carrying those tool boxes to the job. Those days may be gone but the tool boxes live on. Repurposed as a flower box, these baskets hold four(4) 4" clay or plastic pots and can be used with real or less than real flowers, fruit or whatever you desire. The boxes are made of cedar and will resist rotting if being used outdoors. Also, there are a few of these boxes available constructed of reclaimed pine. All boxes can be painted, or built to your specifications.Please contact us with your desires.

Genuine Bamboo Cutting Boards
Bamboo is a great alternative to wooden cutting boards, (bamboo is actually a grass). It can grow to harvest height in as little as 3 years and because it continuously sends out new shoots, it does not need replanting after harvesting. As such, Bamboo makes for a great renewable resource as it can take 50-75 years for a Maple tree to be big enough to harvest. Additionally, Bamboo is 15% harder than Maple and they make great looking, durable cutting boards. The darker colors are produced by cooking or steaming the Bamboo where natural sugars caramelize and turn the bamboo a dark brown color. This color will not fade or run, however, no two boards will have exactly the same color. The cutting boards come in solid or two-tone colors and vary in size. Custom boards are available.
All boards are treated with a food-safe finish. Pricing and size vary, call for exact dimensions and pricing.

Wooden Vases
Wooden vases are something new and each one is unique in it's own way. Created with many different types of wood, both domestic and exotic, I really have no idea what they will look like until they are finished. Pictured to the left is a vase made with Black Walnut sandwiched between two pieces of Spalted Maple. Each vase includes an aluminum insert to accomodate live and less than live plants.
