Special Gifts

As you can see, I have been busy with all my helpers building boxes to meet all your gift giving needs this season. Most of my boxes have been bought by someone wishing to purchase a special gift.

They liked the fact that all my pieces were signed, dated and all the different exotic woods used were listed on the bottom. This extra bit of detail shows the recipient, you went out of your way to get them something really unique.

Jewelry Boxes

If you are looking for a totally unique Jewelry Box to own or give, check out one of my handcrafted creations. Each box is a one of a kind heirloom quality piece constructed using traditional joinery and modern adhesives. The miter joints are reinforced with dovetail splines, chevron splines or internal "butterfly" splines running top to bottom.

The veneered lids are glued up in a vacuum bag exerting 1750 pounds of force per square foot assuring a permanent bond. Each box is lined with suede cloth and the trays have removable dividers for added space.

Since I never create two boxes exactly the same, I am constantly searching for new and exciting woods to incorporate into my designs.

Workshop

You know that Santa's workshop is filled with elves making toys. But Boudreau's workshop is a one-man establishment. All of the boxes you see displayed on these pages are created by me in my shop in Hollywood Florida.

It's a quiet area overlooking the inter costal waterway which gives me lots of solitude and serenity when I have to work out the details of that new design.

I have been creating boxes from this location since 1999 and have amassed quite a collection of power and hand tools. I presently own and use the following:

• Delta 10" Unisaw cabinet saw with Wixey digital readout
• Rikon 18" band saw
• Jet 14" band saw
• Grizzly 6 X 89 oscillating edge sander
• Jet 22-44 oscillating Drum sander
• Jet 15" planer with/Byrd Shelix cutterhead
• Delta 6" Jointer with/Byrd Shelix cutterhead
• Jet Floor Model Drill Press
• Delta Bench model drill press
• Norm Abrams design router table
• Hawk Routershop Table
• Dewalt scroll saw
• Paasch spray booth
• Beall wood buff system
• Porter Cable Orbital sanders
• Joe Woodworker Vacuum press system

Plus lots of other small tools too numerous to list.

Leave milk and cookies for Santa, if you want toys. And place your order for a hand-made box with me if you want quality boxes for all your collectibles, jewelry, and gifts.
