Bill Bolstad has been creating and selling his designs in wood for over 50 years. He and his wife Nan currently make a variety of functional jewelry boxes, chests, and tables in their studio in the Willamette Valley in Talbot, Oregon.
Bill and Nan are dedicated to making quality handcrafted items. Each item is designed for functionality of as well as beauty. They pay utmost attention to the details: from careful wood selection, to quality joinery and finishes, down to their signature on each piece. The unique natural characteristics of each piece of wood are seen as assets; spalting, figure, grain, and burls are often showcased in the finished jewelry boxes and tables.
The Bolstads also make use of colored and dyed woods in their creations. Often the coloring process accentuates the unique properties of the wood grain or offers an unexpected contrast to natural wood colors.
Each box or table is designed to become a family heirloom, intended to be used for generations. Bill and Nan Bolstad want all of their creations to enhance and bring beauty to the everyday lives of their clients.
