Michael Fisher and Heartwood Creations

Mike Fisher Mike Fisher has created more success than any other American jewelry box maker – and for good reason. His jewelry boxes exemplify beautiful woods, traditional designs and exceptional value. Wherever jewelry box makers congregate, Mike’s success is discussed and envied. He’s been able to design and build his work with an incredible combination of quality and value. Understanding Mike gives you an insight into his work and his company.

 

Whereas other American jewelry box craftsmen have sought artistic expression, Mike has sought and expressed his unique combination of qualities: thoughtfulness, humility, teamwork, common sense and Midwestern value-for-your-money. Craftsmen tend to be individualists. Mike on the other hand empowers those around him to perform to their utmost and gives them a chance to develop. What started as a young man’s reverence for wood and joy for handwork has become America’s foremost jewelry box company.


Mike’s Designs and Craftsmanship

The framework for most of Mike’s designs are the simple lines of a well proportioned jewelry box. His 1-Drawer, 2-Drawer, 3-Drawer and Grand Jewelry Box designs are direct expansions on the next smaller model. This expansion allows each customer to choose the design that best fits the size of their jewelry collection. Or for a totally different look, he offers the 7-Drawer Jewelry Box. In all his designs, what stands out are the incredible quality of his woods and the detail of his styling.

 

 

On the sides of his boxes, his designs feature Bubinga, a dark rich African wood, and American Black. On the tops, he chooses stunning woods – Madrone Burl, Quilted Maple, Birdseye Maple and Bubinga Burl – called Kewazingo. He trims the tops with subtle, and sometimes bold, Maple, Bloodwood and Cocobolo to create incredible detail touches. Last he machines meticulous pulls of Bloodwood, Bubinga, Maple and Cocobolo. The attention to beautiful wood and detail is incredible.
