5 out of 5 starsThis is my second order and the quality and design are amazing. Which is why I am willing to spend too much money for a pill box - totally worthwhile!

5 out of 5 starsThis is an absolutely beautiful pill box organizer. it is hand carved with real wood. there is one for morning and one for evening and you can choose the type of wood for each, as a light color for morning and a darker color for evening. I feel that the person I bought this for is much more excited to take and remember to take their medication as well as supplements. it is beautiful and cheerful and so masterfully made. thank you so much for such an important product for my daughter. this beautifully made pill box has given us a lot of Hope. if you are someone who is considering buying this but is hesitating because of the price, I can tell you that it is overwhelmingly worth it. thank you for making such a wonderful product.

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:
