These stunning hand-made wooden fly boxes are made in deepest darkest Wales by the maestro that is Jeff Jones. They small ones are pocket-sized (see images) and easily fit into a vest/waistcoat or wader pocket.
These fly boxes are stunning works of art in their own right - each box features a magnetic closing mechanism, which is also handy for holding your fly when changing it!
We now have three different sizes of Jeff's Wooden Fly Boxes (each available in different wood):
- Small - 5" x 3.5" - Oak Cluster
- Medium - 6" x 4" - Pommele Sapele, American Black Walnut Cluster
- Large - 8" x 5" - Teak, American Black Walnut & Oak Cluster
Here's the different wood used in Jeff's boxes:
Pomelle Sapele - Pommelle sapele wood has a rich, reddish-brown base with a warm, almost coppery undertone, similar to mahogany but often a little deeper and more chocolatey. What makes it stand out is its striking, swirling “quilted” or “mottled” figure—the “pommelle” effect—that catches the light in rippling patterns.
American Black Walnut - Has a deep, chocolatey brown heartwood that can range from a rich espresso tone to a warm, purplish-brown, often streaked with darker or slightly lighter veins. It’s one of the few domestic hardwoods in North America with such naturally dark colouring, which is why it’s so prized.
Oak Cluster - Has a warm golden to mid-brown base, but its most defining feature is the highly decorative, swirling “cluster” figure. Oak Cluster is full of small, rounded or cloud-like patterns (caused by natural growth irregularities in the tree). These clusters can be tighter and darker, almost knot-like, or more open and lighter, giving the surface a sense of movement.
Teak - Has a golden to medium-brown base colour that can range from warm honey through to a rich, deep bronze, but over time and especially with oiling, it darkens and takes on a richer, warmer glow.
Each fly box is inlaid with high-density foam, which will keep even barbless flies nice and secure.
