These
beautiful Stone-Lid Boxes were created from California and Oregon burl
woods, using polished semiprecious stones for lids. Each
unique box
has been individually handcrafted by artist James Thomson, a familiar
face at arts-and-craft fairs since the 1970s. Jim cuts the
burl wood
to fit the shape of the stone, painstakingly sands it smooth, then
applies a lacquer finish to protect the wood. The bottom of
each box
is lined with felt both inside and out.
Not puzzle
boxes, but they make wonderful hiding places for special treasures.
Or loose change, or keys, or....use your imagination!
You will receive the exact same box shown in the picture.
