PERSONALISED SINGLE WATCH BOX

 

A handcrafted solid pine watch box created to protect and beautifully present one special wristwatch.

 

Whether chosen for a birthday, anniversary, retirement, Father’s Day, wedding or simply as a meaningful keepsake, this personalised wooden watch box turns a treasured timepiece into an even more memorable gift.

 

Inside, the base is finished with black felt and one black watch cushion is included.

 

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.

────────────────────────

HANDCRAFTED FROM SOLID TIMBER

────────────────────────

 

This is not a commercially purchased unfinished box.

 

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

 

The process includes:

 

• Selecting and cutting the timber

• Assembling and gluing the box construction

• Clamping

• Sanding

• Creating narrow corner reinforcement cuts

• Inserting hardwood reinforcement wedges

• Separating the lid from the completed box body

• Routing and refining the edges where required

• Preparing the personalised engraving

• Laser engraving

• Sanding and refining the engraved areas

• Hand applying the selected wood stain

• Fitting the hinges and central clasp

• Cutting and fitting black felt to the base

• Preparing the single-watch interior

• Adding the black watch cushion

• Applying protective finishing wax

• Final hand polishing

• Final inspection before packing

 

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

 

────────────────────────

WOOD STAIN OPTIONS

────────────────────────

 

Choose from:

 

• Pine – Light

• Light Oak

• Medium Oak

• Walnut

• Brown Mahogany

• Dark Teak

• Ebony

 

Every piece of genuine timber absorbs stain differently.

 

The same stain may therefore appear slightly lighter, darker or warmer depending on the grain, knots, timber density and natural resin content.

 

────────────────────────

NATURAL WOOD & HANDMADE CHARACTERISTICS

────────────────────────

 

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

 

Natural characteristics may include:

 

• Visible grain patterns and growth rings

• Lighter and darker areas

• Solid or partially open knots

• Fallen knots or small knot holes

• Natural voids and cavities

• Pinholes

• Resin or sap pockets

• Small surface depressions

• Fine natural cracks, splits or checks

• Differences in timber texture and density

 

Some natural holes, knots 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.

 

Laser engraving may also naturally vary slightly in colour and depth depending on 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 joint or alignment differences

• Small variations around routed edges

• Slight dimensional variation

• Natural variation in the hardwood reinforcement wedges

 

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

 

────────────────────────

FRESH WOOD & FINISH SCENT

────────────────────────

 

Each watch 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 scent will gradually soften and reduce naturally over time.

 

────────────────────────

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.

 

Solid timber naturally responds to changes in temperature and humidity, so very small movement, expansion or contraction may occur over time.

 

────────────────────────

DELIVERY

────────────────────────

 

UK orders are sent using Royal Mail 24 Tracked after dispatch.

 

International orders are sent using a tracked service.

 

The dispatch date is the date your order leaves my workshop.

 

Delivery times after dispatch are controlled by the postal or courier service and cannot be guaranteed.
