WELCOME TO HANDCRAFTED EXOTIC WOOD BOXES

Where Exotic Woods
Become Timeless Gifts

ABOUT US

Boxes As Unique As The
Moments They Hold

Native Bostonian Donald Boudreau started his life's dream in 1992 when he and his wife Carol sold everything and moved aboard their 49 foot sailboat "Domicile" and started an around the world cruise. Six years and 25,000 miles later, they found themselves in New Zealand with an extensive wood collection and a yearning for shore life. After settling in South Florida, Don started building boxes using some of the woods he encountered on their adventure.

What Our Customer Says!

Harry Rice

Hi Don, It just occurred to me that I never communicated how much my wife loved
the jewelry box. Every night when she takes her jewelry off and places
it in the box, she comments how beautiful it is. Thanks!

Donald, The box arrived safely this past week. It is perfect and made all the
more special by the message burned into the bottom. Thank you for suggesting that. I am excited to give the gift this coming Sunday.

Dear Don,The box came out truly beautiful. I can’t wait to give it to him. I’m
going to engrave something on the back now, good thing I have one of
those tools as well. Didn’t send out the message to you on time… Thank
you so very much for having done this piece for me and for being so
willing to work with me. You captured exactly what I was looking for!

Best, Martin Brossman

Box arrived and it is beautiful. We still marvel at your beautiful work. Now we really puzzled as to display. It is so beautiful we hesitate to display it with Jewelry. We think a burglar will take the box and leave the Jewelry!! Keep us posted on your activities and think of writing up a book on your sailing adventures. Did you keep a diary? That would help in writing a book!!

Thank you, Lynn

Dear Mr. Boudreau,Your package arrived earlier this week….just in time for the holiday company to admire it and put it to good tea-use. The tea caddy with custom removable dividers is absolutely beautiful. I am honored to have a representation of your work and will cherish it.

Deborah S. Malone

With all the chaos of preparing for the meeting, I neglected to let you know how impressed we are with your work. THANK YOU! I will certainly try to use you again in the future and will speak of your work to anyone who is looking for a true piece of art. Thanks!

Hi Donald, I wanted to thank you for making my 37th birthday extra special. I
treated myself to one of your jewelry boxes, and am sooo glad I did so. Your craftsmanship is superb. Equally impressive is the professionalism of your website; it was super easy to order from you, and the gorgeous box was delivered very promptly. Keep up the great work!!! PS My box is the one that’s top is made of Koa wood, and has a beautiful natural diamond pattern in the wood. I love it.

Hi Don,The box we ordered arrived and we are thrilled with it. It truly is a work of art. It’s a gift for our architect son for his 40th birthday March 26. We know he will also appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship
of his gift. Thanks for doing your part to make the world a more beautiful place and for allowing us to share in the joy of giving a gift worth giving and receiving

Yes, it showed up on time, and my
husband loves it! We have a cousin who builds musical instruments, and when he saw the wood he was most impressed and took your card.It may be just a box, but it’s a work of art and I’m happy my husband has a place for his things. A place he lost in our fire.Thank you!
