I have a bunch of new stuff! The spalted maple is particularly gorgeous and I have some new figured black walnut that you have to see! I have some more of the grade A curly maple too!! Plus a nice assortment of exotics.

All boxes are available with your choice of my signature rippled cork, or rippled foam from Millstream.

Please use my email for purchase jayspencer69@gmail.com

**If there is more than one box of the same wood, I have them numbered #1, #2, etc... The box you see is the box you'll get.**

Heres my newest lineup "hot off the press"

This is brand new black walnut and it has INCREDIBLE figured and burl grain.

Guys/gals--I bought one of Jay's boxes a month or so ago. They are gorgeous, and as represented. I got mine as a gift for a local retiring conservationist. Filled it up with some flies. Amazing the reaction from the recipient. For yourself or another, they are worth it.

Jay if you can find enough outlets for these boxes you'll never have to work another day for "the man". That cherry box I bought off you is by far the coolest piece of equipment I own. Ed

Thanks for the props guys! The hardest thing about this job is I want to keep every single one of them!

I am completing an order now for a gentleman who asked for a very special box. His wife recently gave birth to their first child, a baby girl. The baby had a rare heart condition and required a very risky surgery. They moved to Texas where the best heart surgeon in the country is located. The surgery was a success and the little girls life was saved. The surgeon is an avid fly fisherman. The father of the girl found me through a friend in Scotland and asked me to build a box of Olivewood burl as a gift to this life saving surgeon. You see, the baby girls name is Olive. Finding some good olive wood that wouldnt break the bank was not easy. Low and behold I found some and built the box. I am now awaiting a small engraved, brass plaque to mount to the box.

God I hope this surgeon doesnt read this forum, or I just blew the surprise!
