Large Box "Mister Mango"
This is a two-fisted lift-lid box made of dramatically colored mango. The bookmatched mango lid is framed with a vintage koa frame exhibiting bird's-eye and curly figure and has milo trim. The mango's wild open grain is characteristic of wood found just under the bark of the tree. This material is usually damaged by insect activity or mangled as the tree is felled and milled, but if it survives it often contains a rainbow of color as seen here. the size and shape of a box is usually determined by what pieces of wood are available - this box is about 6" x 13" and is quite solid. The lid lifts off and fits both ways (all my boxes have this feature). Lined with aromatic cedar, signed and dated, finished with color-matched Ultrasuede.

For Ring Box5.0Working 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!

For Mason's Ring Box5.0Tim 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!!!

For 30-35 Custom Redwood Wedding Favors5.0Timothy is fantastic at what he does. He made custom wedding gifts that my fiance and I had in mind for our guests, and he was absolutely incredible at communicating extremely quickly. (We were abroad at the time and even had nearly a full day's time difference between us for the duration of the project.)
We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly he created 'prototype'/sample versions and sent pictures so we could further discuss the design and pricing. Absolutely incredible!
He was very willing to work with us on pricing. We discussed ways the sanding could be done to better match the price point we had in mind. He was even willing to make a few extras (that he will hang onto), just in case we decide to purchase a few additional favors closer to the wedding! Since we are going to wait on staining the wood, he also gave us recommendations on which products to use for that.
We highly recommend Timothy for any custom woodworking project! We couldn't have asked for better wedding favors. We can't wait to share them with our guests!
