Elevate your game night—or gift something truly memorable—with a finely handcrafted wooden playing card box, meticulously built for elegance, function, and storytelling.

🔹 Rooted in a Magician’s Story
This design is inspired by a meaningful piece from my own childhood.
When I was ten, my parents gave me a simple card box made of thin Baltic birch plywood, decorated with the four card suits painted on each side. It wasn’t fancy, but it meant a great deal to me—because at the time, I was working as a child professional magician.
 
That humble little box held more than just cards; it held the beginnings of a lifelong appreciation for craft, performance, and precision. This handcrafted version is my way of honoring that early spark—elevated in fine hardwoods, thoughtful joinery, and timeless design.
 
🔹 Features & Materials
Premium Hardwoods: Crafted from figured Quilted Maple and exotic African Rosewood, hand-rubbed with a satin lacquer finish to highlight natural grain and tone.
Decorative Joinery: Features mortise and tenon joints with tenons shaped like the four playing card suits—hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds.
Custom Inlay: The top is inlaid with an Ace of Hearts—or your choice of card or suit.
Felt-Lined Interior: Blue felt lining protects your cards while adding a refined, finished touch.
Magnetic Closure: Two rare-earth magnets secure the lid, ensuring a satisfying snap and secure hold.
Capacity: Holds four full-size decks of playing cards (cards not included).
 
🛠️ Fully Customizable
Each box is made to order, with design elements tailored to your taste:
Choose different wood species, inlays, or interior lining
Request personal engraving (alpha-numeric, initials, dates, or phrases)
Adjust size for custom card types or use cases (tarot, tokens, keepsakes)
Message me directly to discuss your custom ideas—I’m always happy to collaborate on a unique creation that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful.
 
✋ Crafted by Hand—Not by Machine
This card box is built entirely by hand using traditional woodworking techniques—no automation, no mass production. From joinery to final polish, every detail reflects care, precision, and over a decade of woodworking experience. If requested, I’ll provide real-time progress photos so you can follow along as your box comes to life.
