In days past

In days past one could tell the species of wood being cut by the sound of the axe, even at a distance through the forest. Not so, now, so we go to more extreme efforts to get folks acquainted with the beauty and diversity of our native woods. 

I sign the names of the woods used in making my small inlaid boxes on the underside, helping folks now and in future generations to thus know that the woods have taken part in the creation as much as I. 

Each box is a collection of natural woods in natural colors and a gift to subsequent generations.

It's time to sign boxes.

Make, fix and create...
