Engagement Ring Presentation Box
Created On: March 31, 2006
The box is made from Honduran Mahogany, the hinges are solid brass, and I created the insert myself using upholstery foam and suede cloth.
I made this presentation box for Dana, after several talks about "the future" and after we finally decided on an engagement ring. We picked the ring out together, so I had to surprise her with something! But my artistic mind wouldn't let me just make a ring box...
As it turns out, I was inspired by the "Think Small, Win Big" contest in Woodcraft Magazine and decided to turn it into a clock, as well, and submit it as a contest entry. The box didn't place, but it was one of the top twenty finalists and it did grace the pages of the June issue of Woodcraft Magazine!
