Hatch, David

David Hatch, owner of Swan Jewellery Boxes, is a retired business executive who specialises in making handcrafted solid timber boxes from his extensive range of high value native and exotic timbers. Dave's boxes are built to an heirloom standard and range in size from small watch/desktop boxes to the large jewellery boxes with liftout trays. In addition to the quality joinery techniques including dovetail joints, waterproof glues, wool felt and brass/chrome hardware, Dave takes great care in selecting specific, unique feature pieces of solid timber for the box lids. Each box is finished with multiple passes of sanding and durable timber waxes or oils.
