Welcome to Peter Lloyd's website.
Wooden Boxes ~ Jewellery boxes ~ Ring boxes ~Desk boxes

Peter Lloyd, working from his small workshop in Cumbria UK, searches out unusual and beautiful English hardwoods to create jewellery boxes, ring boxes, work boxes, writing slopes or special commissions; a box to hold a treasured heirloom, a christening box, a chess set, a presentation piece, or a very individual corporate gift. 

Whether it be a desk box made of oak from HMS Victory, a jewelry chest, a little jewel of a ring box or stationery box of burr elm, each of these handmade wooden boxes is a celebration of its wood.

News. 16th November 2009

My last update to this ‘news’ was way back in June and there’s been a great deal happening since then!

I’m painfully aware that there aren’t a lot of boxes on my gallery pages for sale. I’ve been working recently almost exclusively on two very complicated boxes which have to be finished for Christmas and so I haven’t been able to build up a good number for people to be able to buy a box ‘off the shelf’. I do have one or two jewellery boxes and a small number of desk boxes over and above what’s on this site so it’s probably best to ring and speak to me.

The big news is that in August (that only seems a couple of weeks ago) my wife Chris retired from her job as a district nurse and is now working with me. She’s trying to get to grips with my paperwork and bringing that neglected side of things up to date which means that I can spend more time in the workshop creating jewellery boxes. By the way, I’ve made some ‘treasure’ boxes recently – basically a larger ring box. They’re about 85mm square. I will get them onto the website as soon as I can.

Also looming rather large at the moment is the fact that our house is being demolished around our ears! Well, I’m exaggerating a little. We’re having an extension built onto the back and porch on the front. The office is going to be moved and the workshop made a little larger. Right now there’s a concrete lorry outside the front door, the garden is just mud and the only place in the house with any heating is the workshop.

It will be great when it’s done but meanwhile things are a little chaotic around here.

There’s more news on my diary and exhibitions page. Peter
