Thanks for visiting Hamilton/Roberts Designs

Why wood boxes? It seems there's something universal about boxes. We've been hooked on them for a while now...our biography explains how we came to be making boxes after "retiring" from clay and moving to wood 25+ years ago. Few of the thousands of people we've watched inspect our wood boxes at art festivals can resist opening them in the off-chance that there is a surprise hidden inside although they know the interior of each is the same. I'm sure the same thing happens in our retail galleries.

We always hope that people who purchase our wood boxes and other woodwork will become attached enough to use them to hold articles close to them in one way or another from the precious to the mundane. We've had enough customer comments to know that most do.

Head here if you need a customized box. Not interested in a purchase now? Until you are, you can see how we make our boxes in our tiny (under 400 s.f.) shop and sign up for our very infrequent newsletter. And finally, we have a list of other woodworkers, artists, fine craftspeople, museums, suppliers, etc on our links page.
