This long, skinny piece was built around a most unusual slice of mango I found right under the bark of an offcut tossed aside in the milling process. Figure, grain and color are all remarkable. The rest of the box is koa, with a pinstripe of satine surrounding the lid panel. 3-1/4" x 15". Lined with aromatic cedar, trimmed with Ultrasuede, signed, dated.

For Valet/Keepsake Box/Jewelry Box/Other?It 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.

For City Lights ITimothy Lydgate is a fantastic wood worker. His efforts to work with me when the post office made a mistake they wouldn't rectify were also greatly appreciated. If you want some wood art you can't go wrong picking Timothy Lydgate.
