While juggling house-husband duties, getting kids off to school, and maintaining a musician identity, we can create most any custom order with enough advance notice. Contact Brian any time.

15 Custom Heirloom Boxes.
The bodies of these Full-Size Friction Top boxes were constructed from Maple lumber of a disassembled organ belonging to the patron’s late parents. The friction top lids were created from a global array of hardwood species in Brian Baggett’s style. These boxes will now be passed on to the patron’s family members for generations to come! Thank you for letting us be part of this fun family gift.

This box was custom ordered by Brian’s step-mother as a surprise for her sister and brother-in-law in New York. Several species of woods were requested for the Mosaic top, namely locally harvested Birch and Lilac.
To symbolize the time span of 50 years, Brian created an hourglass motif within the multi-coloured wood Mosaic design. The interior lid text was wood burned by Brian’s daughter Dominique.
Happy 50th George & Edwina!

August 2019 – A gift to Emmett Chapman, inventor of the Chapman Stick musical instrument. This is in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of his “Free Hands” technique of guitar playing…which led to his creation of the Chapman Stick five years later.
***
March 2019 – We have fun creating things we’ve never done before…like these two twin roll-top boxes modelled after the original (dark colored) that the customer provided, with Oak plywood from a desk built by her late husband! This local patron wanted to give roll-top boxes to her children, like the one they grew up…but from a desk that her late husband created. She also found where her husband had signed a small piece of trim, so we worked that into one of the boxes. The two side pieces and bottom are from the Oak plywood desk. The rest is Maple and Walnut, with Wenge and Padauk around the nameplate piece.
