Commission a Box

One of a kind, made by hand in the Flathead Valley, Montana.

Some boxes are meant to mark something: a river you've fished for thirty years, a friend you've lost, a wedding party, a lodge with its own history. Those deserve more than a standard box.

A commission is built around your idea from the first cut. We pick the wood together, I draw the artwork, and I build and engrave every piece myself in my shop here in the Flathead Valley, Montana.

Commissions begin at $250. Most are completed in 3–5 weeks.

What we can make

  • Special or reclaimed wood — barn wood, a family tree, timber with a story.

  • Custom sizes — built to fit your flies and your pack.

  • River maps and full-coverage artwork — your home water, engraved edge to edge.

  • Memorial boxes — a name, a date, a place that mattered.

  • Groomsmen and family sets — matched boxes, each personalized.

  • Guide, lodge, shop and club boxes — your logo, in quantity, with presentation gift boxing available.

Every box I make is meant to be carried for decades and handed down. A commission is the one made only for you. — Gregg Murphy, MV Works
