Finck, a distinguished woodworker from North Carolina, not only made the driftwood box but also set up a sequence so Diane Lane could appear to make one of the boxes in the movie.

He also supplied some of the tools and coached Lane in a few aspects of dovetail joinery. I think he should have risen to stardom, but that's not what happened.

Finck's contribution to the Warner Bros. movie of 2008, Nights in Rodanthe, went uncredited.  So he is still fairly anonymous.
