Absolutely love my relic wood chest. I am retiring from the Air Force and didnt want this giant thing to hang on the wall. I found this company and their option was the option I was looking for and arrived well packages and undamaged! Highly recommend and will continue to do so to others who are needing something like this.

First time customer and couldn’t be happier for the Large Keepsake Box I received today. Beautiful wood design including name plate attached on front. This company really does run on simplicity and so efficient. Ordered Monday and received two days later, packed for shipping with such great care, not one dent. I have always loved North Carolina and this is why! Anybody wanting a quality keepsake box, Relic Wood is your go to!

Bought this as a retirement gift for a dear friend. Totally exceeded every expectation. Ordered with custom engraving and it shipped within hours of purchase. 10 out of 10.

Veteran Owned & Operated

We take great pride that we are a Veteran owned & operated small family business and not some big corporation. Our priorities are simple.

#1 – We will always be handmade in America . . . by American craftsmen.

#2 – Taking excellent care of our customers, our employees, and building quality products will always come before profit. We may never get rich, but we will sleep well at night.

#3 – During our business hours you can always get a real person on the phone to answer your questions (hope you don’t mind our friendly Southern Draw).

Behind the Scenes Tour

We welcome you to watch this video to get a behind the scenes look at the tremendous amount of detail that goes into our craft.


Vintage Woodworking

Hands on is how we approach crafting our wooden boxes. Every item we make, from assembly all the way to packaging and shipping, is meticulously done by hand. Our people know that each gift we build is meant to be a conversation piece, and will have great sentimental value to it’s recipient. Meaningful employment is important to us.

Real Graphic Artists on Staff!

Each custom order is assigned to one of our talented graphic designers who will assist our customers until the artwork proofs are approved and the custom order is sent to production. We build nothing without your approval, so you know you are going to love it when it arrives.

The result is something completely unique . . . a gift you will never find in any box store!
