Gift ware
Here are those unique quality items to give to loved ones, friends, clients and of course your self. Some of these items are usually available pre-made for purchase at shows or studio days.
Bowls
The following bowls are examples of what you may be able to find at craft shows & studio days. Bowl stock changes regularly and therefore best seen in person. All bowls are hand-turned domestic hardwood finished with a beeswax based finish.
Boxes
These images include curio boxes, jewelry boxes and a silverware box. Curio boxes have no dividers and are ideal for tucking things away. The jewelry boxes have divisions and often a sliding / removable tray. The silverware box is set up for that specific set.
Candle holders (hurricane lamps)
These images include various Hurricane candle lamps. Most globes / chimneys are vintage, sourced from various markets meaning many may be unique. All candles sit in brass ferrules but should not be left unattended while lit. Battery powered candles can be substituted after purchase. Stock of these items change regularly and therefore best seen in person. All bases are hand-turned domestic hardwood, finished with a friction polish.
Other items
Below are 2 battery powered Faerie lanterns. Made of stained pine, the lattice is kumiko style. When operating looks like a swarm of faeries flying within.
The images in these galleries are property of Your Dreams in Wood and appear for potential clients.
