Box and Clock Fine Craft Gallery-Corporate 1

The uniqueness of my work, coupled with the high perceived value of signed and numbered original editions, lends itself nicely to corporate needs. Original work finely handcrafted in wood seems to have a universal appeal, one of the key elements in corporate awards and gifts programs and one that is often elusive. A common question posed is, "how do I give something that the person will actually keep, value for a number of years, and think well of us as a result of receiving"? The obvious answer I give is a original designed box or clock. If that doesn't seem to fit the bill something can be designed and crafted to fit your specific need.

This award project is from the convention center for the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have awarded these engraved walking sticks, at the rate of about 20 per year for a number of years, to people responsible for bringing a major conference or convention to the center in the preceding year. The award is in memory of Sam Hanna, an important city business leader from the 1800's who was often pictured with a walking stick, a popular accessory of the time. The walking stick is made of walnut and brass. The size is 36"long, shaft diameter is 7/8" tapering to 1/2", head is 2" diameter.
