Tea/Spice cabinet made from pallets.

Birdhouse made from a vintage shoe shine box

I was at a thrift store and came across a box containing salesman samples, and information promoting the use of American hardwoods. Each sample was about the size of an index card. I'm not into buying virgin wood but I'm into using the now discarded samples. I made a box with a maple, oak, and an elm card. (Sounds like some sort of Magic the Gathering Ents play.) The handle is a unique recycled nut and bolt with a rubber inlay in the bolt.

Another first aid box I made. At my last show I had a Red Cross nurse fall in love with this. Not enough to buy it, but I appreciated her connection to it and to her past.
