Carved Rose Jewellery Box


This is a larger jewellery box featuring carved roses on the lid and front of the box. it has 2 lift out trays, finished in gloss lacquer with royal blue felt lining and antique look brass hinges.

Custom Patchwork Style Jewellery Cabinet


This lovely piece is a custom job made from several types of timber glued together then shaped in an asymmetric style. It was requested by a fellow from Coffs Harbour who wanted a large cabinet for his wife's jewellery. It has 5 drawers and a compartment on the top. It is finished in satin lacquer, red felt lining and brass fittings.

It was an enormous undertaking as, although Matt has made a few of these patchwork style boxes before, this one was more than twice the usual size and used 34 tubes of epoxy glue. He also made the timber and brass handles .

It should look wonderful in its new home.

Custom Memory Box



This box was made for a lady whose friend had passed away and the box was given to her children so that they could store treasured items that belonged to their mother.

It is made from cedar and the lid features banksia burl trim in a star pattern. Matt also made the drawer handles from turned brass and timber.

This is one of Matthew's best pieces.

Jewellery chest
