Small wooden boxes
There's something about a small box crafted from a beautiful piece of solid timber.
People love boxes, even the sound they make as they slam shut is a pleasure to hear.  You can't find quality like this in the shops anymore.  If you have a precious item you need to protect for a lifetime, or simply need a place to store your own jewelery then why not have one made for you just the way you like?
The depth and natural colour of crafted solid timber cannot be matched.

This small box features a tinted 4mm thick glass lid and mitre insert joinery, the felt lining on the inside of the lid is removable to allow the stone to be viewed through the glass top. SOLID TASMANIAN BLACKWOOD TIMBER
Don't be fooled by cheap stained timber - it has no depth and will age considerably.
Document boxes - This custom made wooden box was designed to hold a film script, a similar box can be made to store any A4 sized document. Holds a large number of sheets if needed. Modern sleek design for your most precious documents or scripts.

Boxes can be made to order in various styles - Display boxes, anniversary gifts, certificate boxes, jewelery boxes.........anything you can imagine, let me know your ideas and i should be able to work something out for you.

Hand made boxes with trays, divisions, felt lining etc, are crafted with many hours of skill patience and care, some designs above take weeks to finish properly and polish to a high standard. If you would like a box made from the finest materials using quality timber & joinery, designed to last a life time then please understand that they take time to make and are priced accordingly. Please do not expect me to fit within a small budget, if you are after a cheaper box, perhaps a small one that does not require so much work. These ones below will be more suitable for those on a budget.

Here's a picture of a tiny wooden broach box I made recently.



Tasmanian Blackwood laminated onto 4mm mdf with a lift off lid design
(no hinge or catch) Tinted wax finish.
A solid timber version would have been too expensive so this was made to fit the budget.

This one below is solid Tas Blackwood timber with hinges and a tiny magnetic catch.
The lid has been laser engraved with part of the Tennessee flag



Total size 50mm square (external dimensions)
Custom made to order - This box was sent to the USA
