WOOD STAIN OPTIONS
Choose from:

Pine - Light keeps the timber naturally pale while still being fully finished and protected.

CRAFTED FROM REAL SOLID PINE
This box is handcrafted from genuine solid pine timber.
It is not MDF, thin plywood or a mass-produced ready-made blank.
The substantial solid timber construction, natural grain and individually hand-finished surface give every box its own character.
HANDCRAFTED CONSTRUCTION
Each box is individually built in our workshop and features:
• Genuine solid pine construction
• Hand-assembled box body
• Hardwood corner reinforcement
• Metal hinges
• Secure front clasp or clasps depending on size
• Lid limiter
• Personalised engraving
• Hand-applied wood stain
• Waxed or oiled finish
• Hand-polished surface
The hardwood corner reinforcement consists of small hardwood wedges fitted into narrow slots cut across the outer corners of the box.
These are not large decorative blocks or dovetail-style joints.
Hardwood wedges may naturally vary in species, grain and colour.
MADE FROM SCRATCH IN OUR WORKSHOP
Each box begins as raw solid pine timber rather than a purchased ready-made blank.
Our production process typically includes:
• Solid pine selected
• Timber cut
• Box assembled and glued
• Clamped
• Sanded
• Narrow corner reinforcement slots cut
• Small hardwood wedges fitted and glued
• Lid separated from the completed box body
• Edges refined and routed
• Personalised engraving prepared
• Design engraved
• Re-sanded where required
• Selected wood stain applied
• Hinges and clasp or clasps fitted
• Lid limiter fitted
• Wax or finishing oil applied
• Hand polished
• Final inspection
• Carefully packed
MADE TO RETURN EVERY CHRISTMAS
This is not disposable Christmas packaging.
It is designed as a lasting wooden keepsake that can become part of your family’s Christmas traditions and return year after year.
Fill it with festive treats, books, pyjamas, gifts and Christmas surprises, then bring it out again every Christmas.
REAL WOOD. NATURALLY UNIQUE.
Solid timber is a natural material and no two boxes will ever be identical.
Your box may naturally show:
• Grain and growth-ring variation
• Natural colour differences
• Knots
• Partially open or fallen knots
• Knot holes
• Natural voids and cavities
• Tiny pinholes
• Resin or sap pockets
• Small depressions
• Fine checks, cracks or splits
• Different stain absorption
• Slight engraving shade or depth variation caused by grain, resin and timber density
• Hardwood wedge variation in grain, colour and species
• Minor sanding or routing marks
• Small workshop and hand-finishing marks
• Subtle glue traces around handmade joints
• Tiny dents
• Wax or polishing traces
• Slight joint and alignment variation
• Slight measurement variation
• Natural timber movement caused by changes in temperature and humidity
These are natural characteristics of genuine solid timber and handmade production and are not defects.
FRESH WOOD & FINISH SCENT
A newly handcrafted box may have a noticeable natural scent of fresh timber combined with recently applied wood stain, wax or finishing oil when first opened.
This is normal and is not a defect.
The scent will gradually reduce after unpacking and natural airing.
If preferred, allow approximately 24–48 hours of natural airing before filling the box.
