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. 22nd April 2008

Well the daffodils have finally shown their colours, we’ve had the ‘lambing snows’ and the curlews are back. In fact I believe the swallows have returned and are thinking of moving back into their old nest above the Co-op door! It’s starting to warm up - at long last.

As to the world of boxes: well the thingstodo list seems as long as ever, I’ve got so many half made jewellery boxes lined up on the bench, I can hardly see the bench surface and I’ve nearly sold out of the ring boxes I made a couple of months ago which I thought would last most of the year…

Twice recently I’ve heard from very early boxes. Box number 27, a box for taking communion to housebound people, which I made way back in 1990 is still loved and doing its job and out of the blue somebody phoned who’d bought a jewellery box in 1991, they were delighted that I was still going and could I make another for their daughter. And in both cases I remember the boxes as individuals. So even though I’m up to number 1149 they’re all still unique and special. I was asked in an interview some years ago after they’d finished filming the woodchips flying round the workshop which was my least favourite bit – I replied – parting with them. It’s still true.

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