Personalised Solid Wood Card & Money Box with Slot – Celebration Keepsake Box

PERSONALISED SOLID WOOD CARD & MONEY BOX WITH SLOT

A handcrafted solid pine box designed for collecting cards, wishes, envelopes and monetary gifts at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other special celebrations.

After the event, the box can continue to be used as a personalised keepsake box for photographs, letters, cards and meaningful memories.

This is not a ready-made wooden box with engraving simply added afterwards.

Each box is individually made from solid timber in my workshop from the beginning.

────────────────────────

THREE SIZES

────────────────────────

COMPACT

Approx. 29 × 20 × 12 cm

Ideal for smaller celebrations, cards, wishes, envelopes and monetary gifts.

LARGE

Approx. 35 × 25 × 20 cm

A generous and versatile event size with considerably more room for cards and envelopes.

EXTRA LARGE EVENT SIZE

Approx. 45 × 30 × 30 cm

A very large box designed for bigger weddings, parties and events where a larger number of cards or envelopes may be collected.

Please check the measurements carefully before ordering, particularly the Extra Large Event Size, as this is a substantial box.

All measurements are external and approximate.

As every box is individually handcrafted, small measurement variations may occur.

────────────────────────

CARD & MONEY SLOT

────────────────────────

The slot is proportionally sized to suit the selected box size.

Larger boxes are made with a larger slot so the finished lid remains both practical and visually balanced.

The exact slot dimensions may vary slightly depending on the selected box size and lid construction.

────────────────────────

HANDCRAFTED FROM SOLID TIMBER

────────────────────────

This is not a commercially purchased unfinished box.

Each box is individually made from solid pine in my workshop.

The making process includes:

• Selecting and cutting the timber

• Assembling and gluing the box

• Clamping the construction

• Sanding

• Creating narrow corner reinforcement cuts

• Inserting hardwood reinforcement wedges

• Separating the lid from the completed box construction

• Routing and preparing the edges where required

• Creating the card and money slot

• Preparing the personalised engraving

• Laser engraving

• Sanding and refining the engraved areas

• Hand applying the selected wood stain

• Fitting the hinges and clasp

• Applying protective finishing wax

• Final hand polishing

• Final inspection before packing

Hardwood used for the corner reinforcement wedges may naturally vary in species, grain and colour.

────────────────────────

WOOD STAIN OPTIONS

────────────────────────

Choose from:

• Pine – Light

• Light Oak

• Medium Oak

• Walnut

• Brown Mahogany

• Dark Teak

• Ebony

Every piece of natural timber absorbs stain differently.

The same stain may appear slightly lighter, darker or warmer depending on the individual piece of wood, its grain, knots, density and natural resin content.

────────────────────────

NATURAL WOOD & HANDMADE CHARACTERISTICS

────────────────────────

Solid wood is a natural material and every box is unique.

No two pieces of pine will have exactly the same grain, colour, knots or natural markings.

Natural characteristics may include:

• Visible grain patterns and growth rings

• Lighter and darker areas

• Solid knots

• Partially open knots

• Fallen knots or small knot holes

• Small natural voids and cavities

• Pinholes

• Resin or sap pockets

• Tiny surface depressions

• Small natural cracks, splits or checks

• Differences in texture and timber density

Some natural holes or voids cannot be completely removed through sanding without unnecessarily altering or damaging the surrounding timber.

Different areas of the same piece of wood may absorb stain differently.

Knots, end grain, resin-rich areas and changes in timber density may therefore appear lighter or darker after finishing.

Laser engraving may also naturally vary slightly in shade or depth due to grain direction, knots, resin content and timber density.

────────────────────────

HANDMADE CHARACTER

────────────────────────

Because every box is individually cut, assembled, reinforced, sanded, routed, engraved, stained, fitted, waxed and hand polished, small traces of the making process may occasionally remain visible.

These may include:

• Subtle glue traces

• Light sanding marks

• Minor routing or tool marks

• Tiny dents

• Small polishing or wax traces

• Minor signs of workshop handling

• Slight differences in joints

• Small alignment variations

• Subtle differences around routed edges

• Slight dimensional variation

• Natural variation in the hardwood corner wedges

These are normal characteristics of genuine handmade solid wood products rather than mass-produced factory items.

────────────────────────

FRESH WOOD & FINISH SCENT

────────────────────────

Each box is freshly handcrafted, stained, waxed and hand polished shortly before dispatch.

When first opened, you may notice a natural scent of fresh timber combined with wood stain and finishing wax.

This is normal for a newly handcrafted solid wood product and is not a defect.

After unpacking, leave the box open in a dry, well-ventilated room.

The natural scent will gradually soften and reduce over time.

The time required can vary depending on the timber, stain, finishing wax, temperature, humidity and storage conditions.

────────────────────────

REAL WOOD AFTER DELIVERY

────────────────────────

Solid timber naturally responds to changes in temperature and humidity.

Very small movement, expansion or contraction may therefore occur over time.

This is normal behaviour for genuine solid wood.

────────────────────────

CARE

────────────────────────

For indoor use.

Keep dry and avoid prolonged moisture, excessive humidity, strong direct heat and prolonged strong sunlight.

Dust or polish gently using a soft dry cloth.

After delivery, remove the box from its postal packaging and allow it to air naturally before long-term storage.

────────────────────────
