Hello everyone! I was directed to this site by a member at the CHW Buzz forums, and thought I should stop in and say “hi” :)

Some of you here may know me allready from other forums or from magazines etc, but to those who don’t….a little about me:
My name is Ryan Shervill, I run Rare Wood Creations and freelance for a few magazines to try and scrape out a living. I am living proof that a love for woodworking, if taken too far, can cut both your free time and your income in half simultaneously!

I was browsing the projects forum, and can clear up a mystery for a few…I saw the Japanese boxes posted by Mike Shea and Miles (nice work by the way!) and no one knew who the original designer was…well, that’s me! :) I built that box about 5 years ago after becoming inspired by oriental design, and since posting on my website I have seen similar boxes pop up all over the net….it’s fantastic that it has such broad appeal.


Anyway, I look forward to seeing more work and meeting more folks from here…..looks like a great place!

Cheers,
Ryan Shervill

Welcome to Lumber Jocks. Those are some of the niftiest boxes around. I wish I could build a few but Carleen says I have to keep working on the money projects and she doesn’t think boxes are the way to go. LOL Since she does the cooking, I have to listen to her. I think I may have some free time coming up so I may sneak one in. These are beautiful.

You have some great boxes. I’d say more but I’m frothing at the mouth already.

LOL…Hi Mike. I actually scribed the profile on the edges of the board, then sanded to my lines with a 50 grit drum in the spindle sanderwith the board standing on edge in a 90 degree carrier. (Simple “L” made of 3/4” MDF)

Cheers,

Rayn
