Knotheads Woodshed Review

Today, I'm going to introduce you to this FABULOUS shop called Knotheads Woodshed. Here you will find some gorgeous hand-crafted jewelry boxes, keepsake boxes, scrollwork and more. I would love for you to sit back and feast your eyes upon some masterpieces.
"Knotheads Woodshed is a small garage shop operated by myself (Knothead) and my lovely wife Xue.
She does all of the artistic scroll-work, while I concentrate on the Keepsake/Jewelry boxes and the fine detailing/finishing work."
Take a look at this Cherry with Japanese Curly Sugi wooden jewelry box.


This beautiful box has a gorgeous Japanese Curly Sugi lid surrounded by an inlaid border fo Padauk. The box legs and miter keys are also made of Padauk. The lid handle is made of Curly Sugi, to match the lid panel. This box features premium Brusso stop hinges and a removeable top tray, with 2 ring bars. The tray and bottom are lined in a plush terra cotta velvet. Both the removeable tray and bottom dividers are made of Sapele.
Outside dimensions 9" x 6 " x 4"
Inside Dimensions 8" x 5" x 1 3/4"
Finished with Danish Oil, then hand rubbed Lacquer finish and waxed.
Beautiful isn't it?!
Next, I would like to show you the Wooden Stash Box, Keepsake Box.


This small stash box is made from Curly Ambrosia Maple, the lid is Amboyna Burl with an inlayed Ebony border. The Amboyna burl is just stunning and has a depth to it that just has to be seen. The Ambrosia maple has a slight tiger stripe effect. This is a great box for those little treasures. This box also features a stop hinge, which holds the lid open at 95 degrees. It is lined with a terra cotta velvet and has a hand rubbed Lacquer and wax finish.
Box dimensions: 6" long x 4" wide x 3" high
Inside dimension: 5" x 3" x 1 3/4" deep
This, particular piece, is definitely one of my favorites.
As you can see, some serious craftsmanship goes into each and every piece. This kind of work can not be done by just anyone, that's for sure!
If you love all thing wooden and you're looking for some gorgeous handcrafted masterpieces, then head on over to Knotheads Woodshed and take a look around. All of the pieces are just simply stunning.

To My Fellow Bloggers and Followers..
Good morning lovelies! I have a huge favor to ask. Do any of you guys have a blog, or know of one, that is dedicated to sewing? I was contacted by an Etsy shop owner and she wants to do a review and giveaway for 3 of her beautiful patterns. Only problem is, my blog isn't geared towards sewing and I don't feel that I would be helping her gain the exposure that she defnitely deserves. If anyone is interested in reviewing her shop, just contact me (button on the left) and we will go from there. Thanks guys!!

The Stitch and Fold Review

The Stitch and Fold is a SUPER cute shop that offers crocheted critters and origami, all handmade in the wonderful England, UK. You will also find amigurumi and greeting cards.
Here is a little bit about Stasya!

I have a bit of a weakness when it comes to pretty paper and soft, quality yarn. I love to turn them - fold by fold or stitch by stitch - into adorable animals, flowers and ornaments.
I am a university student who otherwise spends my time reading articles and writing essays. Apart from crafting, I also love gardening - in particular growing flowers, veg and fruit.
- 10% goes towards "Teach a Man to Fish", a charity that supportseducation projects in developing countries.
- 10% goes towards "Médecins Sans Frontières" (MSF), who aim to provide medical aid in areas of need.



I just LOVE the Crocheted Pig, Crocheted Plushie Elephant, and the Crocheted Red Toadstool Mushroom! Aren't they just the cutest?
I also spotted some super cute keychains...



LOVE them!
If you love crocheted items and you're looking for some SUPER cute and AWESOME items, then stop by The Stitch and Fold...you're gonna love it!
