Biography of Artist

Ross Nooney's interest in woodworking began as a small boy helping his father in his shop make furniture for their home. As an adult, work and family put woodworking on the back burner until he approached retirement, when he once again began making sawdust producing PO Box coin banks and jewelry boxes.

These original PO Box doors come from post offices throughout the United States and are 40 to 50 years old. The banks include the combination to the door.

Ross uses a variety of hardwoods including oak, maple, walnut, lacewood, zebrawood, cocobolo, zircote, wenge’, purpleheart, rosewood and teak to name a few.
