As a keen sailor I found it interesting to
translate a marine chart onto the lid of a hardwood box and having done
I intend to experiment more in this area and would be pleased to make
bespoke boxes of clients' favourite area. This approach might also
appeal to climbers, walkers etc , anyone who enjoys such outdoor activities.
