A jewelry box made from my neighbor’s elm tree which fell down during hurricane Beryl. The wood veneers used to make the grass and grasshopper design include maple, poplar, Macassar ebony, padauk, and canary wood. The sparkle in the grasshopper’s eye is a cubic zirconia.

The marquetry design on the lid of this box is intended to mimic an oak leaf I found on the ground in my neighborhood. This was an experimental project in which I tried to copy the veining of the leaf and its exact shape and size.

This marquetry box is made of ebonized white oak. The interior is lined with padauk. The marquetry design on the lid is evocative of a forest floor with fallen leaves. The veneers used include canary wood, oak, padauk, poplar, ash, birch, mahogany, Macassar ebony, and the ground is represented by a wood burl veneer.

A neighbor cut down a live oak in his backyard. I used the wood to make this custom game board.

The marquetry on the playing top uses veneers of birdseye maple, holly, African satinwood, and various burls.

A marquetry abstract picture and accompanying table are perfect for the foyer of your home. Made from a wide variety of wood veneers, all their natural colors, this piece shows off the incredible variety of woods from all around the world. The table inlay is made from the same veneers and the drawer pull is an acorn

Picture it: you come in the front door, open the drawer, toss in the car keys, and pet the dog.
