Feb 17, 2022Glenn built a perfect custom display case to exact specifications for showcasing a valuable document. He provided a 3-D CAD model at the start to confirm my requirements and to give me a precise idea of what the finished product would look like. He also kept me informed of his progress along the way, providing pictures of the work in progress. The project ended up taking longer than promised, but it was worth the wait, as it turned out exactly as I had hoped.

Mar 29, 2021My two cases could not have been better. They are expertly made, were expertly shipped and Glenn stayed in constant touch until we were both satisfied with our deal. Will definitely go back to him when needed.

Nov 30, 2020The Bible box I ordered from Custom Wooden Bible Boxes is the best woodworking craftmanship, I have seen it a very long time. The craftmanship was awesome. I am really satisfied with it. The packaging was great as well. I would recommend this company to everyone.

Aug 2, 2020To the reader: It has taken me a long while to think of suitably congratulatory praise for Glenn Nief and the magnificent object of Art he has created for my family. I will do my best to express it in words but it is really pictures that would be needed to illustrate all the features of the piece. And even they fail to give a full impression to the beholder. The work is a Bible Box and a worthy repository of a Book which has been in our family for over 150 years. It is shaped like a cube constructed with multiple varieties of wood which give the object a warm glow that calls for touch. The inlaid inscriptions on the top announce the Holy Book and the lineage names for the families which have held the Bible in their care over generations are inscribed. The lid opens to reveal engravings of the coat of arms of my home region (Alsace, France) and that of my wife's (Texas, USA) above words explaining that the box was my present to my spouse on the occasion of Christmas. The back-hinge is all wood and the front panel can be swung down to slide smoothly the unusually large Book out of the case without risking any damage. An unexpected compartment in the bottom holds ancient family papers, photos and daguerreotypes and the box can be locked with an ornate key for protection. The bottom of the box shows worthily the signature of the Artist. I tried my best above to communicate the beauty of the receptacle and I am so very grateful to Glenn Nief for having created a heirloom which will amaze generations to come. With my very best regards, Michel Beck
