Fine Handmade Boxes

For Ian Brodie, what started out as a broad approach to woodworking has gradually evolved into creating bespoke boxes with a real focus on the small details which help to elevate the status of a piece. I am constantly striving to develop and refine my making and I enjoy trying different techniques to enhance each box that I make, I especially like to incorporate marquetry into some pieces. Whether it's a jewellery box, a keepsake box or a collectors case, each piece is made to be treasured.

I specialise in creating individual handmade boxes for all occasions, each made with care and attention to detail.
