–Jake Pultorak, Wexford, Pa.

“His craftsmanship is superior. We purchase the highest quality craft in the country and Russ· jewelry boxes are in a class by themselves.”

Jewelry Boxes by Russell Pool

The monastery where I lived for most of my adult life had an exceptionally well-equipped woodshop. What started as a contemplative hobby became a passion. My love for handwork and wood carried me through the difficult years of learning toward mastery.

I handcrafted the monastery’s mission style furniture during the last five years of my residence. In 1994, I moved to Colorado, started my family and focused on making the finest possible jewelry boxes. My jewelry boxes are crafted using Cherry, Birdseye, and Cocobolo and are featured in galleries nationwide.

In the studio, I enjoy perfecting the details that reflect my caring. I achieve personal and artistic mastery through repetition and constant improvement. In our fast-moving, complex world, I rely on the simplicity and kinesthetic nature of handwork to keep me in my center and express my spirit. Some say that they can feel this spiritual presence in my work. Through my jewelry boxes, I invite you into my world with the hope of enriching your own.

If you want to know more about my work, I’m always around. I’ll answer the phone and serve you with the same personal focus on your needs that I give to every piece that I make.
