5 out of 5 starsIt was super prompt to ship! It looks great and is definitely an upgrade from my old plastic one. I really love the magnets that lock in place as you turn the lid. Beautiful wood.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely beautiful wooden pill box with the coolest magnet system.
This size pillbox is good for up to perhaps 6 small/medium prescription pills a day or 2 to 3 large (such as multivitamin). If you take pills more than one time a day, consider your dexterity before choosing a single compartment per day model. -

5 out of 5 starsThis is an awesome piece. The workmanship that went into it is very evident.
It is the final resting place for our dachshund.
It was packed very well, which was great, given USPS delivered it a week past it's initial delivery date and appeared to have been lost along the way. -

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:
