Kewl Boxes

About the Winner

This husband and wife team uses wood lathes to turn exotic and domestic wood into round lidded boxes of assorted sizes used for trinket boxes, keepsake boxes, dresser boxes, piggy banks, desk accessories and cremation urns.

Basically this means they're covered in wood shavings all day long. Their faces often turn brown from the dust that flies around them while turning.

Then, to top things off, they seal in the grunge with a little splash here and a little splatter there of sticky gloss finish for their products.
