“Nice piece”

A gift for my artistic, ocean loving dad. Perfect size, not too bulky to display. Solidly made, creative reuse. He was impressed.

“so clever”

This gift for my scuba diving brother is so well made and so clever that he displays it in his office as a conversation starter for clients. It also has a very pleasing heft to it.
