Oak Hardwood Jewellery | Keepsake | Valet Box with Sliding Tray || beautiful lid detail

A stunning one-of-a-kind handmade hardwood valet, jewellery or keepsake box, made from solid oak with a beautiful feature oak lid.

The lid is made from a lovely piece of Oak with a feature split filled with almost black resin. The box is then finished in a gloss hardwearing oil. The interior of the box is lined in a lovely grey suede, and has a sliding removable tray.

Whenever possible in Lifetimber products I use second life timber, that is timber that has had a previous life as something else, is reclaimed or salvaged or often was waste or offcuts from another project or woodworker.  Most of the wood that I use is reclaimed or offcut hardwoods that are naturally slow growing.  This timber is always beautiful and often has character that means it was hard for others to use.  I always work with the natural beauty of the wood, highlighting, celebrating and enhancing the natural flaws, knots and patina.

The core philosophy of Lifetimber’s process is to minimise waste: I try to make use of every ounce of wood that comes into my workshop, even the sawdust!  By considering a Lifetimber product, you will be helping rescue gorgeous wood from an ignominious end.

Obviously, wood is a natural product and Lifetimber celebrates that: if you are looking for conformity, repeatability and laser cut precision then you are probably looking at the wrong product…. but you have read this far!  I therefore encourage you to consider a unique Lifetimber product for all the beauty and joy that it will bring.

If you like what you see and have read, but are after a bespoke commission or customised product, then please get in contact with your requirements and I will see what I can do!
