Personalised Solid Oak Bird Pen & Keepsake Box – The Majestic Birds Collection
A beautifully handcrafted solid oak keepsake, inspired by some of nature’s most extraordinary birds.
Discover The Majestic Birds Collection by Artful Craftsmead – a distinctive range of personalised wooden pen and keepsake boxes, individually made from genuine solid oak timber in our UK workshop.
Each box combines the warmth and natural character of real oak with intricate bird-inspired laser engraving, creating a thoughtful gift for teachers, graduates, writers, book lovers, colleagues, friends and anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and the beauty of nature.
Choose from five distinctive bird designs and personalise your box with a name or short message. You can order the personalised oak box on its own, or select the Complete Gift Set, which also includes an engraved bamboo pen and a coordinating decorative wooden bookmark.
FIVE DISTINCTIVE BIRD DESIGNS
1. Original Peacock
Our original peacock engraving, featuring an ornate decorative peacock, elegant feather details and a traditional writing-inspired composition. This is the established original design from our genuine product photographs, with your chosen personalisation incorporated into the artwork.
2. Royal Peacock
A majestic peacock in a graceful side profile, with an elaborate flowing tail, ornamental feather details and an elegant botanical composition. A striking design with a regal, timeless feel.
3. Himalayan Majesty
Inspired by the extraordinary Himalayan monal, this design features distinctive crest and plumage details complemented by subtle mountain botanicals. An unusual and characterful choice for lovers of wildlife and natural beauty.
4. Crowned Elegance
Inspired by the Victoria crowned pigeon, celebrated for its magnificent lace-like feather crest. A refined, botanical design combining unusual natural beauty with delicate decorative engraving.
5. Emerald Quetzal
Inspired by the resplendent quetzal, with its graceful silhouette and exceptionally long, flowing tail feathers. An elegant choice for someone who appreciates rare and remarkable birds.
All five designs are engraved directly onto the natural oak lid. The bird design is a fixed decorative style, while the name or short wording is personalised for your order.

Important personalisation information
Please carefully check all names, wording, spelling, punctuation, capital letters, dates and other details before submitting your order.
We engrave the personalisation supplied with your order. We do not automatically send design proofs or previews before engraving.
The selected bird artwork remains the established design for that option; personalisation changes the requested wording, not the entire bird illustration.
HANDCRAFTED FROM GENUINE SOLID OAK
Every oak box is individually made from raw solid oak timber in our UK workshop.
We do not use MDF, plywood box shells, ready-made wooden blanks or mass-produced preassembled boxes.
Our making process includes carefully selecting and preparing the oak, CNC-machining the separate solid oak lid and base, creating the internal recesses and precise hardware positions, laser-engraving your chosen design and personalisation, fitting the hardware, hand-sanding, applying a suitable wood wax/oil finish and carefully hand-polishing the finished piece.
The result is a substantial, naturally beautiful wooden box, with softly rounded corners, visible oak grain and a smooth, carefully finished surface.
AUTHENTIC BOX CONSTRUCTION
- Genuine solid oak lid and base, individually CNC-machined.
- One recessed interior compartment.
- Natural solid oak interior walls and lid.
- Soft beige felt fitted to the floor of the lower compartment only.
- Two small concealed 8 mm brass barrel hinges at the rear.
- One centrally positioned magnetic closure pair at the front.
- Smoothly rounded external edges.
- Carefully hand-sanded and hand-polished natural finish.
APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS
External dimensions:
16 × 7.5 × 3.5 cm
Approximately 6.3 × 3 × 1.4 inches
Internal dimensions:
15 × 5.5 × 3 cm
Approximately 5.9 × 2.2 × 1.2 inches
All measurements are approximate. Small differences may occur due to individual handmade production and finishing.
Please check the internal dimensions carefully if you intend to store a particular pen, small keepsake or other personal item.
The box has one open interior compartment without dividers.
COORDINATING WOODEN BIRD BOOKMARK
The Complete Gift Set includes a handmade decorative bookmark inspired by your chosen bird design.
Each bookmark is individually laser-cut from 3 mm natural plywood, with a personalised elongated section and an ornamental bird-inspired silhouette.
Its detailed engraving and carefully shaped decorative end give it a distinctive character, while the deep forest-green tassel provides a classic finishing touch.
The bookmark is designed to fit inside the oak box and to coordinate beautifully with the matching pen and keepsake box.
Because the bookmark is made from natural plywood, its grain, colour, laser-darkened edges and other wood characteristics may vary slightly.
The bookmark is a delicate decorative wooden item and should be handled with care. Avoid bending or forcing intricate cut-out sections.
NATURAL OAK & HANDMADE CHARACTERISTICS
Real solid oak is a natural material, and every piece has its own individual character.
Differences in grain pattern, colour, tone, texture and natural markings are expected and make each box unique.
Depending on the individual piece of timber, natural characteristics may include knots, open or fallen knots, small cavities or voids, pinholes, resin pockets, fine surface cracks or checks, and other naturally occurring features.
As each box is individually machined, assembled and hand-finished, subtle sanding marks, routing or tool marks, small dents, traces of finishing product, minor joinery variations and slight differences in dimensions or finish may also be present.
Wood naturally responds to changes in temperature and humidity, and small amounts of movement can occur over time.
These characteristics are part of genuine timber and handmade craftsmanship rather than the uniform appearance of factory-produced materials.
Fresh wood and finishing scent
Your box may have a noticeable fresh timber, wood wax or finishing-product scent when first opened.
This is normal for a newly made and finished wooden item. The scent gradually fades with time and gentle airing.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep your oak box in a dry indoor environment, away from excessive moisture, strong heat, prolonged direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes.
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the wood, harsh cleaning chemicals and abrasive products.
Do not force the lid or place excessive pressure on the hinges.
Handle the decorative plywood bookmark carefully, especially around intricate laser-cut sections.
The wooden box, pen and bookmark are decorative and functional gift items, not toys. Small fittings and delicate parts should be kept away from young children.
