Announcement
All of the meticulously handmade exotic wood urns, jewelry boxes, and pill boxes listed here are original works of art/designs made by me, Eugene Watson. They are in stock and available for immediate shipping.
To identify a wood, click on the wood name in the drop-down list and the corresponding photo will appear.
I design and make all of my unique sculptural boxes using the finest exotic and domestic hardwoods available. The finish I use has been refined over the past 30 years to be durable, beautiful, and smooth to the touch.
Many of my designs are being knocked off here on Etsy. Make no mistake, if you buy from me, you are purchasing an original work of art by an American artisan (32 years full time making boxes) made in Colorado, USA.
All of my designs are original, and copy protected.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful and practical. This pill box doesn’t look like one. It is a high quality piece that opens and closes smoothly and easily. There are several designs to meet the sizes and number of pills you need to manage. I sent two messages with questions and both were answered quickly. The order shipped quickly and looks just like the photos. If you have any special requests leave a message. I will buy a few more and the nurse that comes to my home wants one as well.

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:
