A couple brought me the leftover walnut flooring from when their house was built.
It was milled from trees that were growing on their property so it held a special

"We were all stunned into awe with the lovely chest we opened
last Thursday. Words cannot adequately convey our heartfelt
appreciation of what we consider a labor of love and respect
for the salvaged wood. It means a great deal to us to have all
of the wood come from the area too. The size and design of
the chests could not have fit us any better. We are delighted.
Thank you so much! These will certainly be treasured
heirlooms."
