Custom Wooden Box Design Ideas
Some design ideas for custom wooden boxes.
Don't hesitate, contact us today to discuss your wooden box requirement.
Wooden Mah Jong Rack

Shown in red meranti hardwood but available in woods to suit. Each rack comprises 4 zones: the rear external edge for constructing a tile wall; a rear platform for displaying exposed pungs, chows and kongs; a central 45 degree rail for holding unexposed tiles. The rack underside is polished enabling the rack to smoothly push forward a tile wall.
Mah Jong tiles and game not included.
Yin and Yang style lids

Wooden hinge lid loosely in the Yin & Yang style. Lid slightly 'distressed'. Shown in red meranti hardwood but available in woods to suit.
Ornamentation Idea - 'spots'

Box inlaid with spots in a constrasting colour of wood. Shown here in red meranti hardwood with wooden hinges.
Ornamentation Idea - Laminated and 'Bargello'


Laminated and 'Bargello' style lid design.
Maybe a bit psychedelic but a box with laminated or 'bargello' walls and lid would be interesting. Very time consuming to craft though (£££).
Shown with walls in red meranti hardwood.
Trinket Box

Trinket box with swivel lid that exposes a small compartment. Test tube to hold a small flower (not supplied).
Shown with walls in red meranti hardwood.
'Legs' Box

A mixed media box with legs crafted from mild steel with brass protruding pins. Legs coated with a metal lacquer to reduce rusting. Brass legs might be an interesting look.
Shown with walls in red meranti hardwood.
More 'Legs' Box


Custom box crafted from 2 types of contrasting wood and fitted with 4 wooden legs. Lift of lid with brass handle.
.A somewhat 'chunky' design but adaptable: the walls could also be made from multiple woods.
Shown oak and red meranti hardwood.
'Heavy Metal' Box


Don't ask. A heavy 'industrial' 4-leg box crafted from 5mm mild steel flat-bar and decorated with metal leaves and brass. Lift of lid with brass handle. Removable sliding tray. This box has its own beauty.
.Finished with a metal lacquer to slow rusting (it will rust eventually unless retreated.)
Wooden Box with Doors and Removable Tray


Demonstrating that a handcrafted wooden box does not need to be conventional. Here a more unusual box with front doors and a lid with a removable tray below; design for a specific function.
Wooden Tantalus Decanter Case

Showing a double-decanter tantalus case made to required dimensions. This version has a carrying handle that rotates circa 90 deg to enable the decanter to be easily removed. This design feature was a 'nod' towards some traditional tantalus cases that had actual locking mechanisms securing the decanters. Fixed handles also work well. Number of decanter compartments as required - traditionally 2 or 3 we understand.
Shown in red meranti hardwood; looks good in oak as well. Decanters not supplied. Box crafted to fit your decanters.
Bottle Boxes


Boxes to contain bottles. Vertical or horizontal arrangements.
Shown in oak. Whilst we can add some baize etc to the inside these boxes can not be considered as protective. Presentation only.
The wire rack in the horizontal box was to hold a cigar.
Engraving
The addition of engraving, where practical, can personalise and add to the uniqueness of a box. We can offer machine-engraving direct from our workshop.
See our Engraving page for details.
