Partner Boxes
Pictured above are two matching boxes I was commissioned to build for a client as partner boxes. The pair includes a large jewelry box for the woman and a valet and watch box for the man. Each box was constructed from the same set of boards to ensure consistency between the pieces and the design of each mirrors the other to create a true pair of boxes. Each features similar banding across the top and bottom, removable trays, and a solid Wenge top which was cut from the same board. These particular boxes were constructed of solid Lacewood & Wenge but partner boxes can be commissioned in any wood combination desired by a client. The valet box features two levels of storage each of which is lined in a luxurious and durable felt lining. The top level houses two open faced removable sliding trays (approximately 3"W x 6"D x 1"D) perfect for the storage of rings, cufflinks and other small items. The second level is divided into six 3"x3" compartments for the storage of six watches. Six velvet watch pillows are also included with the box which provide a safe and attractive resting place for the watches. The jewelry box was specifically developed for the storage of earrings, pins and other small items. Sleek and compact the box contains twenty-four small compartments and a removable tray perfect for the orderly storing prized possessions in an attractive and easily accessible fashion. No stains or dyes were used in the making of this piece and all colors seen are the natural colors of the wood. Each piece is signed and dated on the bottom. Valet Box Dimensions: 11"L x 7.75" x 5"H Jewelry Box Dimensions: 12"L x 8" x 3.5"H Please contact me to discuss commissioning you own set of matching partner boxes.

For Valet Box | Solid Peruvian Walnut And Birdseye Maple5.0Nick's work is beautiful and his photographs are 100% accurate to the product you receive. He ended up not having the same wood we requested but he found a comparable one.

For Men's Valet & Watch Box | Solid Figured Cherry Trimmed In Wenge Accents5.0I requested a watch box with a small adjustments to what was displayed. Nick was very accommodating and customized everything to my liking as well as communicating the process along the way. The final product was shipped with such great care; it looked better than the pictures! I couldn't be more pleased with the Nick's work. Well worth your investment.

For Floating Mantle | Solid Cherry Wood5.0I could not be happier with the beautiful cherry mantle shelf Nick made for us. We negotiated a custom size and Nick was clear to communicate with. The mantle came when promised and was very well packed for shipping. Most importantly, the workmanship is stunning. I was nervous ordering online from someone I didn't know but I can wholeheartedly recommend Nick's workmanship and professionalism.

For Sculpted Men's Valet & Watch Box | Solid Lacewood And Wenge5.0Nick Jones is a cut above compared to any other seller on the Internet. I have never purchased anything through custommade.com but after this experience I will consider it more often. Never experienced something to be as well maintained and packaged as the watch box I received. Craftsmanship is top notch, photos do not do any justice.

For Sculpted Men's Watch & Pen Box5.0The final product was beautiful, the photos barely did it justice. I was very happy with the way Nick was able to quickly get in touch with me, and had no problem converting the inside of the box to a jewelry case for my wife, and added a custom plate for the inside. Thanks for your expertise, it was great working with you.

For Men’S Valet & Watch Box5.0Working with Nick was a no brainer. I needed a very specific piece and with his guidance he was able to help me select the components to create something very unique. He sent me pictures throughout the process and kept me updated at least weekly. His craftsman ship was better than what could be seen in the pictures. I recommend working with Nick if you have the opportunity. My husband loved his gift!
