Commissioning

Commissioning.

 
Boxes are lovely to display in the house simply as attractive objects as well as serving very practical purposes.

If you commission a box you will have a unique object especially designed to suit your requirements.


Unless specifically asked not to I will always construct the box with attractively spaced dovetail joints. From there on there are lots of possibilities including some marquetry and carved lettering.

If you are interested in having a box made for you please take a few minutes to think about what shape and size of box you would like (you can get some ideas from this web site or a general internet search), what timber species you require and how you would like the interior organised (regarding trays, drawers and any particular items you would like to store). Also, do you want the box personalising in any way (initials, names etc carved or using marquetry). With this information I will be able to produce some design ideas and accurate quotes.

 

All my boxes have my logo (shown on the top left hand corner of each web page) carved somewhere discreet such as on the back of a drawer.

Clients are welcome to visit my workshop in Leicestershire to talk about their ideas before commissioning and to see where their box is going to be made.
