Best Of Mango Box

Best Of Mango Box

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.

    Tim was great in helping define my idea. The product is perfect and he was even willing to make a new one at his cost when mine went missing in the mail for a short time. Post office fault not Tim’s.

    Timothy 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.

    Tim 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!!!
