Domino Holder

Domino Holder

A long thuya burl case with a rounded lid that slides along its length, sized to hold a set of dominoes. The figure of the burl runs the full length of the lid. Three in this batch.

Mosaic Block Box

Mosaic Block Box

A thuya burl box under a lid built from rows of small raised squares, each one set by hand, so the grain shifts from block to block as the light moves. Four in this batch.

Octagonal Inlaid Box

Octagonal Inlaid Box

An eight-sided thuya burl box under an inlaid lid, in two sizes. No two lids are worked alike — brass wire drawn into spirals around mother-of-pearl, a field of pale dots, a blue-and-white rosette. Six in this batch.

Carved Openwork Box

Carved Openwork Box

A rectangular thuya burl box whose lid carries a pierced arabesque panel, cut through by hand and framed by two fine inlaid lines. The most labour-intensive piece in the batch, and there are three.

Dice Holder

Dice Holder

A narrow thuya burl case with a sliding lid, sized to hold dice in a row. The smallest piece in the batch at $20, and the easiest way to try the wood. Five in this batch.

Small Box

A rectangular thuya burl box with a plain lid. No inlay and no carving — only the burl, which is the point. Sized for rings, cufflinks or a folded note.
5 available ·  9 cm

Every piece is one of one. Thuya burl is cut from the root of the tree, so the grain never repeats. Where a design shows more than one piece available, those pieces are the same design and not the same object — when one is gone, that exact grain is gone with it.
