Welcome!
Cocobolo, Birdseye Maple, Pennsylvania Cherry, Snakewood, Spalted Magnolia, Purpleheart, Bubinga- these are a few of the 100-plus species of world-wide woods utilized by Wally. Products from Wally's Woods include boxes of various sorts, turnings (bowls, vases, goblets, boxes), Small "treasure boxes" (3" to 12" wide) with hidden hinge pins are his most popular product. Jewelry boxes may be rectangular in shape with inlaid woods or range to a free form such as a "baby whale" or a "kitty box". One large jewelry box design holds upwards of 64 necklaces!
Turnings include both plain/unadorned designs as well as highly decorated artistic pieces -e.g. a low bowl with colorful butterflies "floating" in lacey frame; a large vase with a lone gray wolf gazing back at the viewer; a row of suspended maple leaves in pastel autumn colors; a row of dragonflies flitting across the sides and bottom of a bowl. One unique turning/carving combination is Wally's "bowl-basket".
Also available are custom chess sets and playing boards and other utilitarian ware. With Wally's years of experience with woods, virtually any idea of the client can be accommodated into a design - a box or chest, a vessel, a hanging, an artistic piece, even a 3-D wolf or bear chainsawed from a log!
