3 Easy Steps to Find the Perfect Wooden Box

Choosing a gift for someone you love can feel overwhelming. Every Mikutowski box is chosen the same way, in three steps: the box, the tier and wood, and the engraving.

Choose the tier and the wood

The tier sets the price. It reflects how rare the board is and how much extra work Danny puts in. Not every box comes in all three tiers.

Classic

Our standard box in walnut, cherry or maple combinations. The same handmade quality, just without rare woods or added detailing. Photos show the wood combination, and each board's grain is unique.

Signature

Boards Danny picks for exceptional grain, can include various inlays, checker patterns and creative wood combinations. You get the exact box in the photos.

The One

One box a month, made as a true one-of-one.

Twice the Classic price

Then pick the wood

We never stain. The color you see is the natural grain, so no two boxes are alike.

Make it personal

Add names, a date or a short message and it becomes their box, not just a box.

Where we can engrave

  • Top of the lid
  • Inside of the lid
  • Front of the tray
  • Custom

What’s available depends on the box. You choose the text right on the product page, and watch boxes are the one thing we don’t engrave.
