WTB Desk Set Box

[Rangertrek]

I am looking for a maple box that will hold a pen and letter opener. I need it in wood so the top can be engraved. I have checked most of the common sources, cant find what I need.

A friend wants this set made to present to a retiring teacher. The wood for the pen and letter opener is part of the chalkboard rail from the teacher's classroom (20+yrs).

Any recommendations or sources are appreciated. thanks.

John,

Could you consider something like this, and have the glass cover engraved?

I realize this is not maple, but thought the concept might fit your needs.

Do you have enough of the chalkboard rail to make a matching pen box?

Unfortunately, I only have enough to make the pen and opener. Wish I had more.

Box with glass top

I like the idea myself, I will check with my friend and get his thoughts, he is paying the bill. I did find a rosewood box at PSI I will use if no other ideas come up.

Thanks for the input.
