About This Piece:

The shape for 'Leah and Boo' was a departure from my usual designs. While I believe that all of my boxes are emotive, I wanted to make a box that was more obviously so. It took me 3 attempts to achieve what I wanted and when it was finally up on display.. unnamed... my little granddaughter Leah, who was 3 1/2 (and who is my heart and calls me Boo) looked at it and declared to Jim
"That's me and Boo!!"
And so it was named.

Care & Feeding:

Interior and exterior have been sealed with Danish Oil. The exterior is finished with a three-stage wax process, the final being carnauba. The result is a durable and easy to maintain surface. Do not use cleaners such as lemon oil. An occasional light dusting is all the care it will need... easy!
