Thanks for visiting Wood'n it be Nice. As you can see, my passion is making wooden boxes. I've been doing this since about 1999, and by my estimate, have produced just over 4,000 pieces since then. That said, I am still learning. That's what is so neat about working with wood. There is always something new.
I pride myself on the quality of my work and on customer satisfaction. Hopefully you see that coming through in my reviews. My available shop time is becoming limited, so unfortunately I am unable to entertain custom orders at this time. Thanks for your consideration.

5 out of 5 starsExceptional quality and craftsmanship from Bob as always - truly a master at what he does. Bob is so attentive and also was able to create a custom order for me, I'm so appreciative of his skills and kindness. I can not recommend him more, his pieces are heirloom-worthy and each an art piece on its own.

5 out of 5 starsThe pagoda box is not only unique with superb craftsmanship but also a work of art. It's one of a kind and simply beautiful. We love it so much that we decided to display it prominently with our other collectibles. We want to thank Bob the designer and creator of this box for sharing this unique box with us.

5 out of 5 starsAfter searching online and in brick-and-mortar stores for the perfect jewelry box as a gift for my wife, I finally found Bob Dickey's Wood'n It Be Nice shop on Etsy. He had many beautiful items to choose from, but I had some specific attributes in mind, so I reached out to him about doing a custom piece. Bob was an absolute pleasure to work with in selecting the perfect materials and features. The finished product is exquisite, surpassing my expectations in terms of the quality of both materials and craftsmanship, and was even delivered sooner than I'd anticipated. Most importantly, my wife is thrilled, and the box will certainly become a treasured family heirloom. Everything about the experience of working with Bob was outstanding, and I highly and unequivocally recommend him and his fine art wood boxes.

5 out of 5 starsWe could not be more impressed with the quality of the wood used and the craftsmanship. This was a gift to my son for his birthday, and he was very pleased. I appreciate the seller's ability to send it immediately, to ensure timely arrival. Thank you so much for making a product good enough to last a lifetime.

5 out of 5 starsIt’s a beautiful box! Very well built. You are truly gifted and I look forward to shopping with you again. The packaging was thoughtfully executed - the shipping box was damaged in transit but because of how carefully the product itself was packed, it was not damaged at all (thankfully). Thank you for the excellent service you provided!

Long and narrow defines the shop. Not a serious traditionalist, I consider tools with cords to be a good thing! -

The small scale of a box requires accuracy and tolerances tighter than general work. Every little error sticks out. -

I often work with contrasting woods in a box. This is the start of a Sapele and Tiger Maple piece. -

Much farther along, it now starts to look like a box. -

See me building boxes on Handcrafted America. Now on Amazon Prime Video. I'm in season 1, episode 9.
"A workshop with living quarters"
That's what my wife says about our new home in Wisconsin. It's not really that bad, but after 20 years in Illinois, living in a nice 2-story colonial with a small workshop, there is some truth in there also. Living quarters were downsized a bit, and the shop space quadrupled!
After many years of the typical DIY woodworking around the house including three home additions, I wanted to continue working with wood, but in a more fun, creative way. Along came boxes. The smaller scale of boxes allows one to experiment with premium and exotic (read "expensive") woods without going broke quickly But after completing several dozen, then what? Market them, and that's what I been doing through 12 years of outdoor art fairs, and now the web.
After over 4,000 boxes built since 2001, I am still learning, challenged both by the many techniques I yet want to develop, and woods I want to try, but even more by the unique ideas and requests from my clients.
