Bulova - Rectangle Case 14k Gold




Here is a watch from my collection.

This one is a Bulova from the 1920s.  The dial is a beautiful salmon pink color and the case is solid 14k gold.  Most of these require some tinkering and oil.  It is pretty rewarding to get something this complicated moving again.  This one keeps excellent time.



The hands are Blued.

Beveled Dial and Genuine Crocodile Strap (original)

Jewelry Boxes - Koa Wood, Walnut and Mahogany


Jewelry Boxes - Hawaiian Koa Wood, Walnut and Mahogany.  I made these as an assignment in the CWU Wood Design class Spring 2016. 










 Construction Pictures:
This project started when I bought a board of acacia wood while in Hawaii.  It is a special species of acacia that only grows above 1,500 feet.  I had seen some boxes in the Gallery One and wanted to try to make one, or two.



lots of clamps.  maybe more like all the clamps.
