Sculpted Men's Valet & Watch Box | Solid Lacewood And Wenge
This valet & watch box is constructed of solid Lacewood & Wenge, which was hand selected for the beauty of its grain and stability of its structure. The Lacewood used in this piece came from South America and features a tight interlocking grain which resembles a lace type pattern. The Wenge used in this piece is a very dark and durable hardwood which came from the Western portion of Africa. The exterior of the entire box is hand carved to resemble lapping waves along the shoreline of a beach. The surface features undulating peaks and valleys which smoothly flow into one another. As interesting to touch as it is to look at, the sculpted box offers a unique look and feel unlike any other box. The 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. No stains or dyes were used in the making of this piece and all colors seen are the natural colors of the wood. The piece is signed and dated on the bottom. Dimensions: 11"L x 7.75" x 5.5"H

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!
