Our Boxes
All of our boxes are made from premium hardwood, no plywood or pressboard! We do not stain or paint any of our boxes, but apply several finishing coats of lacquer to show off the natural wood grain.
Choose from 4 different woods (shown in the listing photos): Ambrosia Maple, Mahogany, Cherry, and Walnut. Please note that the wood grain will vary from box to box. Ambrosia maple wood varies greatly and can be very light with little variation or very dark with grain contrasts and worm holes. Cherry wood is our second lightest wood and is fairly consistent. Mahogany is a darker reddish wood. Walnut wood is our darkest, please note that walnut wood may not show engraving as well as the other woods.
Each box is hand made. This memory box is 12”x8”x4” with 90-degree antique stop hinges and an optional antique latch.
To Order
1. From the drop-down boxes, choose your wood type and if you would like to engrave text on the top of your box only, or the top and inside lid of your box. The top of your box will be engraved with the design shown in the first photo and your custom text. The inside lid will be engraved with your custom text.
2. Choose your latch option from the drop-down list.
3. In the Personalization Box, note the text you would like engraved on the top of your box to go along with the design. If you chose to engrave both the top and inside lid, please note the text you would like for the inside lid as well. Please distinguish which text goes on the top and which text goes on the inside lid. If you do not we will use our best judgement for the placement of the text. We do not have a specific limit on number of characters, but keep in mind that the more characters you have, the smaller the font will be. Also note which style font you would like for your engraving. A list of the font choices is shown in the listing photos. If you do not list a font choice, we will use our default font: Gabriola.
Please be sure to double check all spelling and capitalization as we will engrave it EXACTLY as you have noted.

Tips for Choosing the Right Wood
~ Detailed Engravings or Engravings with a lot of text: If you're ordering a box with a detailed engraving, or an engraving with a lot of text, keep in mind that detailed engravings and smaller text shows up better on lighter colored wood (Ambrosia Maple or Cherry).
~Wood color and grain vary from piece to piece, even wood in the same species.
~Walnut wood, although normally darker, can have lighter contrast and the color can vary greatly.
~Ambrosia Maple wood, also known as Ghost Maple, also has varying color and grain. Although normally light, ambrosia maple wood is known for its dark grain contrasts, adding brown, gray, and bluish highlights to the wood. Ambrosia Maple wood also has worm holes. The worm holes and darker grain highlights come from the Ambrosia Beatle Inhabiting the Tree before it was harvested, hence the name “Ambrosia Maple”.
~Cherry wood and Mahogany wood have the most consistent coloring, although Cherry wood will turn darker over time.
-We select specific cuts for each music box, but if you have a specific preference, would like a lighter piece of walnut, an ambrosia maple piece with a lot of grain contrast, etc., please note your preference in the “Add Note to HandmadeByBryanC” box in your cart and we will do our best to pick a piece to your request.
*Note: Please note the wood grains for all woods will vary from box to box, and the worm holes(a characteristic of Ambrosia Maple Wood) will vary from box to box.
