Hand-Crafted Hope Chests
Hand-Crafted Hope Chests features pieces that are handmade by Amish artisans and come in solid wood of either cedar, oak, maple or cherry. Originally, hope chests were to hold all the things a young woman needed to start a household: embroidered linens, crocheted doilies, dresser scarves, hand-decorated pillow cases, quilts. Eventually it would be a place to store for her wedding gown, baby clothes and other family memorabilia. These days many people use chests for extra storage for things such as linens. Regardless of what you use your chest for, these pieces are beautiful & will add to your home's dècor rather than detract from it. Hand-Crafted Hope Chests also offers solid wood jewelry boxes available in a variety of colors.

Altered Wood
Gerard Kelley is a wood-working artist located in Sacramento. Working as a handyman & carpenter most of his life, he says he never thought of himself as an artist. But one look at his beautifully crafted jewelry boxes assure you that he is just that. According to his site, the style of jewelry box that Gerard has been making is called a bandsaw (or band saw) box. He works mostly with hardwoods and then laminates the wood in contrasting shades and colors which creates a different, sometimes dramatic, look. Each jewelry box is hand-cut making it a truly original handcrafted work of art. These are definitely not your run-of-the-mill square or rectangular jewelry boxes. Gerard also creates other beautiful items, including framed wooden artwork and business card holders.
