Jewelry boxes and keepsake boxes come in all shapes and sizes and like many things, are not created equal. All my hardwood rustic jewelry boxes and keepsake boxes are handcrafted in the USA using time tested joinery techniques to ensure that your jewelry box or keepsake box will be around for generations to come. Please see our care and maintenance page for tips on ensuring that your jewelry boxes and keepsake boxes will last a lifetime and beyond.
Hello, and Welcome to The Little Box Shop™
All the offerings on this site are crafted by me in my small 415 square foot shop in southeastern Minnesota. I received my college degree in business but found that my love for wood and wood sculpting, specifically wooden jewelry boxes and keepsake boxes, has led me to devoting all my time to the craft. I enjoy the simplicity and complexity of box design and crafting unique, quality heirlooms.
Many of my pieces are influenced through the extraordinary craftsmanship of Peter Lloyd. Each piece is handcrafted individually by me. My rustic jewelry boxes and keepsake boxes consist of a mix of mostly domestic and some exotic hardwoods. After selecting my hardwood from local mills, the lumber is brought back to my shop where it is machined and dimensioned. After careful sanding and other preparations, several coats consisting of a mixture of fine oil/poly are applied to each piece ending in two coats of oil/wax.
I incorporate other material into my pieces from time to time such as steel, aluminum, brass and glass.
All my pieces are crafted with time tested joinery techniques. Each piece is signed on the bottom and dated. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and has its own celebratory characteristics. I strive to incorporate a very high standard of quality and craftsmanship in every wooden piece I create.
