Valet Box | Solid Black Walnut And Birdseye Maple
I constructed this Valet Box of solid Black Walnut which has a deep rich color flecked with figure. The deep color of the Black Walnut is beautifully accented by the striking Birdseye Maple splines in the four corners of the box (which also serve to reinforce the joints) as well as the inside center divider. The combination of these two hardwoods creates a truly stunning piece. This Valet Box is divided into 2 large compartments on either side of the center divider, perfect for storage of smart phones, wallets or keys and 2 small compartments in the center, which is designed to hold smaller items such as cufflinks. This box is as beautiful as it is useful and would be a great addition to any bedroom, entryway or living room. I do not use any stains or dyes when creating my pieces. All colors seen are the natural colors of the wood, which will continue to deepen and enrich over the years. This piece is signed and dated on the bottom. Dimensions: 12"L x 8"W x 2.5"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!
