[Sustainable Selection] Solid Wood Stamp Box Set | Taiwan Mahogany

Slide, tip, done — in one smooth motion

In dry, cold weather, the lid of a traditional drawer-style stamp box often fits so tightly that it is hard to pull out. WKidea rethought every movement of taking out a stamp — a light push opens the magnetic lid, you tip the box over, and the stamp drops into your palm. Two movements, one smooth motion.

Domestic Taiwanese wood, warm to the touch

Both the box and the stamp are made from domestic Taiwan mahogany, with a natural grain, a warm feel and a warm reddish tone. If you would like another wood species, ask us through our custom service; it is priced separately.

Magnetic slide lid × tip-out stamp: the details

Magnetic lid — magnets are set into both sides of the lid, so a straight push opens it. It opens and closes with a damped feel: effortless, never loose. The magnets are exposed on the sides as part of the design.

Tip-out stamp — once the lid is pushed open, gently tip the box over and the stamp slides out of the opening into your palm, with no need to reach in.

A curved stamp that shows which way to stamp

Redesigned for the common problem of not knowing which way a stamp faces: the top edge of the stamp is curved, so when you pick it up and hold it along the curve, you naturally know which way to stamp — no need to turn it over and check.

CNC-cut, finished with natural beeswax

The box and stamp are shaped by subtractive CNC machining and sanded in two rounds under the WKidea Standard Craft process; at the end of the first round we mist the wood with alcohol so the flattened fibers stand back up. They are finished with natural beeswax, keeping the natural texture of the grain and a warm feel. Knots and grain variations are characteristics of natural wood.

Made to order and engraving

The Taiwan mahogany version is currently out of stock and is made after you order, shipping in 7 business days. The stamp comes blank; if you want text engraved, choose the "Engraving" option. If you only need stamps without the box, choose "Single stamp" under "Item".

Sustainable Selection: a past-season item

This is a past-season item in the WKidea Sustainable Selection line — so that finished woodwork gets used instead of sitting on a shelf.

Simple care

01　For everyday care, simply wipe the stamp box and stamp with a dry cloth.
02　Now and then, apply a thin coat of natural beeswax (avoid the stamp face), then wipe off the excess with a dry cloth.
03　Avoid soaking it in water or leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods.
