    Through its creation of simple, pure forms, the ancient craft of woodturning speaks to the primal human connection to the material. Any man who was once gifted a pen knife understands the allure of whittling, carving and manipulating wood. Our delicate vessels represent the pinnacle of the artform. Simplicity of form allows the grain of the wood to speak, revealing the history of the tree through its ancient rings.

    Perhaps gift a timeless piece of craftsmanship with one of Matthew Paré's Oak Four Ways, Chocolate Always boxes. Crafted from four types of oak and finished with Melton wool, the boxes are constructed to neatly fit a chocolate bar for a special after-dinner treat. Perfect for cigars, trinkets, stationary, chesspieces and any keepsake, the boxes are a woodworking masterclass in miniature.
