Today, these custom pencil boxes were finally given to their intended recipients. When I was approached by a team leader who wanted to give appreciation gifts to his team that weren't just more corporate branded items, I was honored. We worked together to choose papers that reflected what he knew of his team, and I suggested we customize them further with their names. Each box also included one of these lovely Lamy pens as a way to start filling it. I would love to see more leaders and managers providing such thoughtful gifts to the people that work for them. If you're interested in getting your own customized pencil box, don't hesitate to send me a message! #boxes #boxmaker #boxmaking #bookbinding #pencilbox #deskaccessories #stationery #chiyogami #ricepaperdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CbIlNFlu591/?utm_medium=tumblr

A custom enclosure complete with a hidden compartment holding an addition portfolio protecting the boards that came off the book. I replaced the old tattered boards with facsimile wraps.

Cut through the lid because I didn’t measure. Finished the idea anyway because it’s a skill builder. Acrylic box with hand chased threaded lid. US penny for scale. This isn’t sanded and won’t be finished. Just a reminder that we all bugger things up. I should have measured and didn’t. Spent a week as assistant to @kirkdeheer while at @johnccampbellfolkschool last week. Kirk’s class reminded me that I know how to chase threads and turning small projects is just as important as turning large projects. 3/32” thick, blank from @beyondwoodproducts. Maybe I’ll have time to try this again tomorrow. #acrylic #lathe #box #boxturning #boxmaker #boxmaking #woodturner #woodturning #stl #shoptime #practice #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)

#Repost @baenenboxes ・・・ Made this book matched spalted maple panel for the lid of Fine Line. It will be floating in a black walnut frame and it will be backed with another spalted maple panel to build up thickness. I like to call the floating panels in the body "soap dish" shaped. I think the added dimension to the panel really shows a viewer that the spalting goes all the way through the panel and is not just on the surface. The last picture shows the hidden compartment in the Box. You get to it by lifting the Box body off. . . . . #wood #woodworking #box #boxmaker #design #woodenbox #exhibit #tattoo #woodworker #artisan #woodbox #tattoomachines #tattoo #woodart #fineline #lagunatool #microjig #powermatic #deltatools #grrripper

my parents’ major new life developments are that they grew some native heritage corn varieties and my dad bought a bell that irritates all their neighbors with its clanging

“please, glass. you know it’s mew.”

Another custom box, this time for a loyal customer. They chose the outside paper and let me decide on the lining paper. I think the combination is just perfect. #boxmaker #boxmaking #boxes #pencilbox #chiyogami #bookbinding #stationery #deskaccessories #ricepaperdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXuth-vVvD/?utm_medium=tumblr
