Wood has a tendency to darken in color with age. We recommend that you do not store any of our boxes under direct lighting (lamp light or sunlight) as this has a tendency to expedite the color changing process. Our boxes feature a smooth lacquer finish. If they become dirty for whatever reason, a soft damp cloth will usually suffice. Please refrain from using any chemical cleaners on our products which can strip the lacquer off the product.
We purchase our inlays and marquetry from a variety of artists across the country and around the world to bring you the finest detailing. As such, each inlay or marquetry design is crafted from many different wood types. If you have a question regarding your inlay or marquetry design, please contact customer service, and they will be happy to provide you with as much information as possible.
We strive to keep all items in stock. However, due to demand and availability of natural woods we may be out of stock on certain items.
Over 40 years ago, Mike Fisher crafted his first Secret Box for his girlfriend. Since then, his passion for woodworking has grown into both a career and a world-renowned business, Heartwood Creations. Established in 1978 in Rockford, Illinois out of a small garage in Mike Fisher's home, this was the first location for his business. After a decade, Heartwood moved into our current facilities and have been expanding and improving our product line and woodworking techniques ever since.
We quickly earned a reputation as a group of talented craftspeople from America’s heartland whose products are now shown in many of the finest galleries and craft shops both in the United States and internationally. While our company has grown and new products have been created, the Classic Secret Box remains our trademark. The small heart that is burned on the back of each box is our craftsman’s mark that signifies a Heartwood original. Proudly handmade in the USA, Heartwood Creation's products stand a notch above the rest in their quality, artistry, and craftsmanship.
My passion for woodworking began as a child when I was inspired by watching my father make furniture for our home. When I joined the Boy Scouts, I read a book by Eric Sloane called “A Reverence for Wood.” That book, in combination with my love for nature, gave me a deeper appreciation for wood, trees, and nature.
I've crafted many things throughout my life from wood, but boxes have remained my primary focus. When I was sixteen, I made a box from birch for my girlfriend and put a romantic note inside. An early teacher introduced me to the sliding dovetail which I use to this day on Heartwood's little Secret Boxes. I soon discovered elaborate and exotic woods and so began my love affair.
Woodworking has always been therapeutic for me. It kept me engaged during tumultuous school years and became something meaningful that involved my heart and my hands. The workshop in my parent's basement quickly became my favorite and most productive outlet. My love for the medium and the joy I receive from working with my hands continues to inspire me decades later.
