Other Box-Jointed Keepsake Boxes
Family Photo Box
This box was created when I contacted a local photography studio. He gave me a picture to use. The studio owner liked this box so much, he told me to not even stain it.
I made a version in maple, and a version in pine. Maple is much better for engraving photos, and is slightly better when it comes to graphic images (text, designs, etc.). It is also a lot harder than pine, so it won't get dinged up like pine boxes will. On the flip side, it doesn't take stain nearly as well.
The lid of this box measures 17" x 14". The inner dimmensions of the box are 15" x 12" x 3". Of course, this is all subject to change. I make the box whatever dimensions you want. A box like this is $150.00, which includes the image on the lid. Any additional images would generally be from $10.00 -$15.00 each.

Mom's Urn
This is the box my Mom asked me to make to hold her ashes. She loved hummingbirds, so I made sure it had several on it.
The front is my Mom's high school graduation photo, the back is one of her wedding photos. The side image is a recreation of the image carved onto my parents' headstone.
This box measures 12"L x 10"W x 81/2"H. The inner dimensions are 8 3/4"L x 6 3/4"W x 5 1/4"H, which is always negotiable. If you want it a different size, that if completely do-able. This would be a nice box to sit on a mantle or side table, it wouldn't have to hold ashes.
These boxes are available for $125.00, which includes the image on the lid. Additional images on the sides are generally $10.00-$15.00 each.
