5 out of 5 starsThis is absolutely beautiful. I have other Bubinga wood pieces (direct from Morocco) and this pill box is just as stunning.
Easy to load the pills and the top and swivel mechanism are secure. The large fits 5 x large oblong pills (flaxseed oil) very comfortably.
My only recommendation is that Wats offer an XL size to fit up to 8 or 10 XL pills comfortably so that I can buy one for my Mom! -

5 out of 5 starsThis is a gorgeous & roomy pillbox. The lid turns smoothly and the magnets are very strong. Plus, it is much more compact than the plastic drugstore varieties. I'm thrilled with the purchase!

5 out of 5 starsThis pill box is beautiful! The quality craftsmanship is apparent the moment you see it. The main pill portion is carved from a solid piece of wood. The magnets are strong enough to hold the covers on but easy to move and remove. I can’t say enough about this! Love, love, love it! Highly recommend!

Eugene Watson, maker of sculptural boxes.
I began Watson Woodworks in 1990 in an old 1200 square foot loft just outside of Chinatown in Chicago, Illinois. Prior to woodworking, I designed electronic components for the black boxes in military airplanes. My interest in woodworking evolved from my childhood and was influenced by my father and grandfather. I chose to pursue woodworking over an electronics career because I am able to express my creativity with my hands and design innovative pieces in a relatively short period of time. I am now recognized nationally and internationally for my boxes.
My boxes involve the use of very traditional tools such as bench chisels, planes, and files, to high tech modern machinery. All of my designs utilize my engineering skills in math, geometry, trigonometry, drawing, etc. I machine my own metal parts and utilize leather and shell in many of my designs. The woods I use are exotic and domestic figured hardwoods of the highest quality.

Care instructions
The finish I use is a CAB acrylic lacquer from Sherwin Williams with the vinyl sealer base coat. I often use paste wax with steel wool to make the piece feel better to the touch and to bring out the sheen.
Very little care if any is necessary aside from removing dust occasionally. You can use an air canister if you like. You may also use any wax type polish to bring out the sheen. If alcohol or a chemical gets on the piece, wipe off immediately. Letting a chemical sit will ruin the finish.
The leather lining I use is a synthetic suede called Ultrasuede. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Custom and personalized orders
Custom orders are accepted based on wood type only, unless a large quantity is desired. My boxes are all made in batches and are not conducive to size changes. I can do monograms as seen in this listing:
