Jim and
Trina, as Knock on Wood, create beautiful jewelry boxes at their
studio in upstate New York. Jim
graduated with a BA in history from the University of Buffalo
in 1971. His first love, however, was woodworking, which lead
to his profession as a cabinetmaker. Trina graduated with an MFA
in Painting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1974.
She designs with an emphasis on timeless, sophisticated lines
and highly functional interiors.
Together they create
jewelry boxes at the highest level of craftsmanship. The rich
depth and smoothness of the wood grain is achieved by extremely
fine sanding and a traditional hand-rubbed oil and varnish finish.
These boxes will retain their beauty for generations to come.
