Dad is a very skilled woodworker. He has a little "barn" behind his house where he creates his masterpieces. I'm lucky to have many of them in my house.
I ordered square concho drawer pulls for the drawers. They are a mixture of finishes - antique copper, silver, old west silver, silver and gold, etc. I wanted a little variety. And there are 3 different styles: a longhorn, star and cross (which isn't shown in this picture).
These are a few of the jewelry/trinket boxes that dad has made over the years for me. Each one is a little work of art. He uses different woods for the inlay pieces. The one on the left end has pine from a tree I planted when I was about 6 years old. It finally had to be cut down and dad had it milled and then used it to make different things. I remember bringing that little pine sapling home in a styrofoam cup from school!
Eventually, when I get a real studio built, I'd like to put this in there to store my beads and other supplies. For now, I am admiring it in our living room. Great job Dad. :)
