Hand-made cedar gift boxes of marzipan stuffed chocolate figs
Wow! What a treat. Don't know what I did to deserve these, but let me know so I'm in your good books for next year!

Challenge
Constantly working with mass-produced, high-tech packaging systems challenges us to create a high-touch, low-tech package for our own work. We also wanted to delight the taste buds of our friends and clients.
Solution
The boxes are made of Western Red Cedar shingles. The chain-sawn edge of the shingle bolt was retained for the top edge of the box. Lids were stencilled with the decorative fig leaf — a hint at the contents of the box — marzipan stuffed figs, hand dipped in chocolate.
