These “Memory Boxes” are small boxes with sliding lids for the kids in the UC Davis Cancer ward to keep their get well cards and treasures in. The local woodworking club sponcers and coordinates the effort. Doug Freund helped me to build ten of these little boxes. The wood is blue spruce from a small sawmill in Montana. The top is a raised panel resawn from glued up stock.

What a wonderful thing to do for the kids! I’m sure that they and their parents really appreciate it. Do the recipients get to glue and assemble them or are they assembled and finished when presented?
Thank you for being such a thoughtful and caring human being.

Very nice boxes! I’m glad to see people helping people and I’m sure these boxes are going to be treasures for the kids to keep forever. Nice work and even better cause. Thanks for sharing.

What a great cause. I remember when I was a kid, someone gave me a compartmented wooden wine box with a sliding lid and I kept it for years. Great job

Not only a nice project but also a worthwhile cause. I liked the way the lid is constructed with the. I’ve never seen that before. Good work Rob.
