A story worth sharing this Veterans Day. 🇺🇸

Ray served in Vietnam. While he was overseas, he wrote letters to his mother, and she wrote back to him. His wife gathered those letters and reached out to us with a single newspaper photograph from his deployment.

She asked if we could engrave that photo inside a handmade walnut box — to create a safe place for every letter he sent home.

We engraved the image into maple inside the lid, then built the box with walnut and maple accents. When she gave it to him for his 75th birthday, he placed all of those letters inside.

A gift of remembrance.
A tribute to service, love, and family.

To all who served: thank you.

Alex wanted a special place to keep all of Lottie’s “firsts” — her tiny necklace, her first collar, Halloween costume, and favorite bandana.

These little things might look small, but together they tell the big story of a best friend who’s been there from the very beginning. 🐾

That’s why we make our keepsake boxes. They’re more than just wood and joinery — they’re a safe place for the memories you never want to forget.

👉 This is our Large All-Walnut Keepsake Box with Hard Maple Splines and Tray, handmade in the USA.

Every legacy has more than one side. For the Bishop family, some of the story was written in classrooms and school hallways. But another part was written in farms, workshops, and sawdust.

Tyler Bishop Hall and our daughter, Madison, carry that side of the legacy forward today.

I finally put this story into words, and I’d love for you to read it.

These photo slide boxes were built by our customer’s grandfather in the 1950s. Once used to store family photo slides, they’ve now been lovingly restored to hold keepsakes for future generations.

It was an honor to carefully take them apart, sand them down, and refinish them — so that his craftsmanship continues to be part of the family’s story.

This Halloween shadow box is something Tyler and I made just for us. I designed the layers in CorelDraw, and we cut them on our Epilog laser from scrap maple, cherry, and walnut. Each piece was finished with acrylic paint and Annie Sloan waxes, while Tyler built the walnut box with miter joinery and corner splines to hold it all together. At night, with a candle glowing in front, the whole scene feels like it comes alive. 🕯️👻
