5 out of 5 starsI am delighted I am with the two boxes I ordered from The Wooden Head. I knit 2 sets of 24 small wool mittens-each a different pattern and number to be used as a Christmas Advent Calendars. These mittens were a great deal of work, and deserved safe storage -Lenny's cedar boxes more than fit the bill. Lenny was more than patient with me- we must have had a dozen email communications before final size, wood-burned mitten design and finish were confirmed. He always contacted me back quickly. He expressed so much concern to me-wanting to make sure that I was perfectly satisfied with the final boxes. The boxes were wrapped and shipped very carefully. They are a work of art and I am so very glad I chose The Wooden Head over other craftsmen on Etsy. They are perfect and I would recommend The Wooden Head to anyone.

5 out of 5 starsLeonard made me a custom box with a military emblem on the lid. It was beautiful! I gave him the emblem and exact measurements and it was such a hit with the person I gave it to. The wood he uses is beautiful.

5 out of 5 starsJust amazing. I came to Leonard with a unique project that he had never done before. A custom box to hold 4 custom made vinyl records. He worked with me to make sure the dimensions were correct and kept me updated with the project including pictures along the way. I wanted to wait until the records arrived to include a photo of what the look like once in their new home. His craftsmanship on the box is impeccable from the logo he imprinted on the front to the text on the side of the box (Etsy will only let me upload one photo). Leonard will definitely be my go to guy for all my unique woodwork projects in the future, and I can guarantee that if you order from him you will feel the same way.

5 out of 5 starsLenny worked with me and my fiance to create an amazing wedding gift for our best man that we know he will treasure forever. We asked for a small humidor in black walnut with an engraving on the inside of the top. Due to it being smaller than standard size Lenny offered to research smaller humidity packs to make sure they would fit. He made this process so seamless and we really enjoyed creating the box with him. This being a handcrafted item I did not expect to receive it so soon. But after about two weeks we were notified it had shipped. When it arrived I was beyond excited to give it to the best man. The quality of the box is amazing and Lenny even included a care sheet that was much appreciated! I cannot recommend TheWoodenHead enough and would love to work with Lenny again in the future!

This custom box has a name engraved on the inside of the lid.
Here are some of the custom boxes I have created for customers
The Wooden Head came to life in 2016 when I expanded from designing and building individual gifts for friends and family to something more wide ranging. Working with wood had always been a very enjoyable hobby but it seemed time to stretch my creativity and follow an unfamiliar path. What kind of a journey would The Wooden Head take me on?
The Wooden Head has changed in a few ways since 2016. First, I developed my own proprietary finishing technique. Even though each box has three coats of finish, they look and feel as if they have none. This way my customers feel the wood, not the finish. Secondly, I added a Glow Forge allowing me to engrave.
The ability to customize and personalize boxes was a true turning point for The Wooden Head. I do a lot of work for military families, all of which is sold at or below cost. I have also done a significant amount of work for people who have lost loved ones (people and pets). These kinds of projects are very special to me. They allow me to connect at some personal level with the people who come to my shop. I put that connection to work when I design and build.
The feedback I received from customers tells me I am heading in the right direction. I still get a great deal of satisfaction when somebody purchases a piece to use, or to give as a gift. However, and most unexpectedly, I truly enjoy the opportunity to help people who come to my shop looking for something special that will honor a loved one or help them cope with a loss. I did not anticipate this part of The Wooden Head journey, but it feels right. It feels like I have found the place I need to be.
