Why Treasure Boxes?
     I've always had a passion for wooden boxes, even as a child.
 
A closed wooden box is an object of both beauty and mystery.  There is an art to creating even the simplest of boxes.  Yes, they all have 4 walls, a base, and a lid; but the art is in the fine lines and delicate curves created in construction. 

     Looking at a closed box, a viewer begins to wonder what mysteries can be found under the lid.  The treasure stored in one box is as unique as the owner themselves.   A simple wooden box can hold such wonder and magic, comparable to a child discovering buried treasure within the dusty old cedar chest in their grandma's attic. 
    Hidden Treasure
Box is the marriage of a fruitless pursuit for an unattainable artisan box and a secret passion for woodworking.  It was the early 1980's.  I was in my 20's with two small daughters.  Money was tight.  We lived paycheck to paycheck and shopping typically consisted of looking through store windows. One day, I happened upon a wooden box with a secret drawer at Oriental Trading in Altoona.  I fell in love.  It was beautiful.  And priced absolutely out of reach. Months later, after I had saved enough, I returned to buy my treasure but it was gone.  I went back several more times but unfortunately I never saw one like it again. The saved money bought groceries. 
     Years passed, my children grew, life moved on, but I never forgot the box.  I looked for it everywhere - yard sales, auctions, flea markets, and specialty stores.  It wasn't to be found.  One day I read a short story about three young boys searching for hidden treasure during a hot summer in a small Florida town and it all came together.  If I couldn't find the box with the secret hidden drawer, then I was going to make my own.  I started with a small table saw in a corner of the garage and the Hidden Treasure Box was born.
