Fancy Box
A mix of tasty koa grains provide the subtle tones that animate this little gem. Warm, reddish-brown milo and a few thin lines of near-white mango finish the job nicely. Side panels are built in proportion to the elaborately cross-laminated lid, which takes advantage of the directional luminosity characteristic of chatoyant hardwoods to create the illusion of depth. The milo splines provide strength as well as an additional design accent. The box is lined with aromatic cedar, signed and dated, and finished with Ultrasuede. Lift-off lid fits both ways. 4" x 6-1/2".

Feb 4, 2016Working with Timothy was fantastic, I got exactly what I wanted and the box is beautiful. He shipped it to me the day I made payment and so the turnaround was great as well. The box is really well made, I can't wait to give it to my wife on our anniversary! Thank you, Timothy!

Jul 14, 2021Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project. He went above and beyond to help me turn a drawing that I made into a physical object that I know I will treasure for years and generations to come. He is so knowledgable on his craft, so do not be afraid if you aren't aware of how wood and other materials work (I surely wasn't). I couldn't recommend him more. Worth every penny and more. Look no further!!!

Oct 9, 2017It was a pleasure working with Tim. He is very professional and timely with communication. He takes the time inquire your needs and very detail-oriented to ensure you will receive the most unique and beautiful final product. My husband is incredibly hard to shop for, and Tim made the most original valet koa wood box with exquisite lining that took incredible craftsmanship--and my husband just loved it! Due to the detail required, the box did take slightly longer than expected (although, Tim was in communication about this), but it was definitely worth the wait. I would definitely work with Tim again, and highly recommend his craft. He is extremely talented.
