First of all…picking what woods you would prefer in your chosen type of box is not a custom order – prices are the same as shown in the On Hand Gallery.

If you are interested in a custom box please remember that what you see here is work that we have endeavored to produce efficiently while not sacrificing quality. Those efficiencies are not as easily obtained with custom work and will, of course, result in higher prices. These comments apply mostly to our large “jewelry” boxes. Our “spline” and "stilt" boxes are much more easily customized.

As for customizing the interior – almost anything is possible. I frequently tell customers to live with the piece for a while and if they need a specific layout to give us a call. The layout in our large boxes with tray on top of dividers is somewhat of a compromise – some people wanted nothing, some wanted everything. Our "spline" and "stilt" boxes are empty (besides the bottom UltraSuede liner) but can be fitted with dividers and tray as needed. If you do not need the tray and dividers in our standard boxes we will deduct $30.00 from the price.

Turnaround for custom orders depends on the season – a few weeks before Christmas may be very tough but be sure to call – we are flexible.

Can we make 400 small boxes by next Friday? Probably not…depends on timing and size, and what we have on hand though, so give us a call! We really only make what we are interested in…if you need a large quantity of boxes that aren’t remotely similar to ours we probably won’t be interested (but thanks for the thought).

One Response to “Custom Work”

  • Chris Gibbons:

    Hey there – I just ran across the box (hidden away) I purchased about 12 years ago along with the note you wrote inside saying “Give me a call about payment or replacement…” You sent me the box first before receiving payment from me to be sure it was ‘acceptable’. Which I always thought was cool. Sadly, the ebony holding the brass handle broke but the box is still beautiful. This was my first and best ever purchase experience on the web despite me being a web designer then and now. Glad to see you are still in business. Thanks again!

    On a side, if you ever need a web site that reflects and exhibits the beauty of your work, send me an email. I’d love to reciprocate.

    Regards,
