There were three different sets of jewellery boxes: underwater, wings and all-time. The images on the box and the inner ring were stained. Each box is hand finished maple and birch. There were a variety of boxes, some with feet and some that were flocked on the inside.

There were two types of puzzles produced: water and land. The water puzzle is a compilation of water animals: the killer whale, salmon, crab, frog, beaver and seal. Each piece is nestled in a outlined shape with the name of each creature under the puzzle piece. The Land Puzzle is a sample of the land animals: the wolf, bear, cougar and deer. This is an easier puzzle than the water puzzle, because it has four larger pieces were the other has six various sized pieces. The colours are reflective of their themes. These puzzles are learning aids to the basic designs of the Northwest Coast art form.

Even for everyday uses, First Nations people adorned their surroundings with images rich in symbology and emotion. Here the animals are anthropomorphized, representing all the people coming to engage in the complex interplay of society that occurs in every market.

These wooden ornaments are stained, paned and clear coated. There was a limited number produced for several Christmas seasons from 2002 to 2010. There were bears with presents, hummingbirds in snowflakes, reindeer beavers, Santa wolves with the North Star, a deer with a Christmas Tree, a cougar at the North Pole, a raven in an ornament and a salmon in a sock. The joy and celebration of Christmas are reflected in the festive colours and animated characters.

The trays were made specifically for a Private client.
