My box came today. It will be perfect for my 12 inch Sanibel entry. Thank you. (August 2016)
The box is lovely and perfectly crafted! . . .the 1/2 inch depth is proportionate to the size of the box. I plan to use very small shells as I suspect others would when using this size box so I think it’s a perfect depth. And there’s still room for a flower with a higher rise in the center. (Note: The box was a 4" front loading box. Original request for working depth was 1". After further discussion, the inside working depth was reduced to 1/2" to make the depth more proportional to the width. -Jim) (August 2016)
. . .your boxes are perfect . . . (July 2016)
NOTE: We were impacted the month of June and early July by the worst local flooding since 1957. Our home was "high and dry"; but, Jim was unable to do any woodworking due to floodwater in his shop buildings. It was a temporary disruption. We are 100% back in business! We appreciate the loyal patience of all our customers during this period.
The boxes arrived today, Yippee! The 20” one is just what I wanted - Thank you, a beautiful job. (June 2016)
Thank you, Jim....they are beautiful! (May 2016)
