"Mike Mackenty and his family have been on Martha's Vineyard for a while. Somewhere in between college, graduate school, a successful career in healthcare technology and raising a family Mike also found time to become one of the island's skilled craftsman. These Shaker boxes that Mike made especially for our auction is a great example of his prowess. These mahogany and oak boxes are truly one of a kind pieces, created in his workshop on Edgartown Great Pond.
Mike dedicates these boxes to a longtime friend of Sail MV, Sam Warriner, who passed away this spring after a long illness, and requested that remembrances in his name be directed to Sail MV. Mike's father, John, also passed away this spring and we are grateful that Mike carries on the family tradition of supporting the island community.
This is a truly unique lot, made right here on the Vineyard, that honors some truly special people."
