    Remembering Soren

    I finally finished the memory box for my daughter who lost her first child back in February. The design is mine however she chose what she wanted carved where. The same tree is carved on both ends. She selected ambrosia maple for the construction. The box is 18" wide x 12" deep x 10" tall.

    Gonna drop a tear tomorrow when I deliver this.

    Thanks for looking...

    Indeed, that's some of the prettiest ambrosia maple I've seen. Beautiful job.
