Glarner Design

Chris Kamm

I came to woodworking by a circuitous route. After customary academic experience, I found myself in the equally stressful and compensated aeries of banking and finance. But, a vacation in California turned into a change of my entire life. In 1995, I entered a box design contest. More memorable than my score was the fact that people bought them. I have learned that the surprise inside is just as important as the exterior. The outside should be simple and spare. The inside completes the expectation for what a box might be used. In this modern age, the warmth of polished wood offers relief from the digital, the virtual and the fleeting. I seek simple designs with dramatic materials and offer this box as a secret place for your treasures.
