A pen and ink box

A pen and ink box I made for a lawyer in Massachusetts is featured in the current issue of Popular Woodworking.

It is made of ash and walnut, and also serves as an example of interior design in my new book, Designing Boxes.  The lift out tray is to hold pens and the space under is useful for accessories.

I was listening to a report on how the rich play a disproportionate role in climate change. Over 900 private jets converged in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, and that's just the tip of the melting iceberg. 

If more folks were involved in crafting beautiful and useful things within their own communities, they'd find greater satisfaction in the use of their own hands and would not have to go rushing off toward the destruction of life for the rest of us.

Make, fix and create. Assist others in learning likewise.
