Form Follows Function (In Wood)

The pieces in this category earn their space twice: they look like handcrafted sculpture, and they do a job 鈥?a bear's belly is a box, a bird's beak holds notes, a snowman stores small items. Solid walnut, cherry, and beech give them the weight and durability plastic versions lack, and several are engravable, turning storage into a personalized gift.
