  Custom made quilt hangers have become very popular with the quilt community. The hangers allow quilters to display their treasures in a variety of ways. David uses different designs for various quilt sizes and display objectives. If you quilt or know someone that does, David’s hangers/racks could be very useful. They are currently used by quilters to display quilts for sale in shops as well as to show special quilts or antique quilts in homes. Large wall spaces lend themselves to quilt hangings and become a great center piece for any room.    Salad / Cheese / Decorative Bowls have so many functions. David’s unique designs make it a pleasure to use them or to simply display them as art. He strives to ability to find wood with special colors and grain and then design the bowl shape to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. He is especially fond of turning natural edge bowls such as the one shown on the right because it shows the growth rings, the new growth (sap wood) and in many cases, the bark. All of David’s bowls are safe to use with food, so they provide a unique way to store fresh fruit or serve that special dish.    Store, Display David first started making these lovely boxes for his wife’s rings. His business grew to making larger items to store jewelry of all sizes and display business cards for both men and women. These boxes make great graduation and anniversary gifts. Each comes lined with felt in a color that compliments the wood.    Great Gifts! These are a great gift idea for wine lovers. They can be coupled with a nice bottle of wine as a house warming gift or to simply say Thank You to someone. These stoppers are an elegant way to re-cork an unfinished bottle of wine.
