I'm planning on customising a bunch of wooden boxes, like jewelry boxes. But I can't find anywhere that sells them for cheap. most websites have already done thiers up and I dont want to spend loads of money on them only to do my own things to them.
Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells anything like it? or empty wooden Cigar boxes; because that would have the same effect. i want a few but the cheaper the better I say!
The closer to manchester the better. but i'm getting a bit desperate!
thanks :)
Ok, if you're prepared to go wholesale there's a company near Blackpool that imports wooden boxes from Poland, DarPol I believe they are called.
Their boxes are usually pre-decorated but at wholesale they are well priced and they may have some simpler designs (I used to order chess sets from them - so only paid a little attention to their other lines).
Hope this is of some use.

Any suggestions for cigar shops that are willing to give away or even sell for a nominal fee(under $5) the empty wooden boxes used to hold cigars? I walked into Club Habanos in Suntec, where the lady was all smiles but turned a little snappy when she realised I wasn't going to spend much money.
Will also appreciate any suggestions for wooden boxes in that size & shape for sale at a reasonable price(~$10). So far I've only seen unfinished wooden boxes at spotlight for kinda high prices(>$20)
I've been wanting to get the same thing as you for the longest time. They dont often sell it, although they used to. It's bad service everywhere. People are so realistic....sigh.
Why not see if you can find one like it on E-bay and see what they are selling it for?
I'm trying ebay, but there doesn't seem to be a good market. I have so many habano, and non cuban boxes that are good quality, wooden boxes. Some are hard to come by. My room is filled with beautiful boxes!!!
Assuming you are in the United States, you can try selling them on Craig's List. It sells to people in your local area and is 100% free to use. It may be more appealing to buyers as they can save on shipping since they could pick them up. It's worth a try. If that doesn't work you can try Ebay again and just make a bit of a profit on the "shipping and handling" part. Thats what many people do. Good Luck.
Table Tennis or Ping Pon
It consists of a card table, separating the two halves by a net, with two players with their respective rackets and a ball must pass to the opposite field after hitting the table once. Much is lost when the ball is passed to the opposite field. In this sport basically have to have great reflexes and excellent traction due to the speed that keeps the ball during the game. Its development has been spectacular in recent years, being one of the sports that has the largest number of licenses in the world. Source: Table tennis is a spectacular sport in which the reflexes and coordination are essential.
It originates in England in the late nineteenth century, it seems that tennis players were frustrated in their games with a bad weather invented an indoor game based on the sport they wanted to practice. A long dining table, a rubber ball for children, a network made ??of ropes or books and created a racket with a wooden board (such as cigar boxes) were enough to play the first table tennis. Subsequently, and in the twentieth century several inventors and entrepreneurs designed wooden rackets, rubber wood, aluminum and string, but finally won the rubber, as well as design different table games with different rules. In addition, imported American balls made ??from a new material, celluloid. One game recorded was the “Ping-Pong” in 1902 by Arnold Parker, by the sound produced when striking the ball the racket and table. This game was exported to the colonies, where he began to practice.
In England, began making the first tournaments in the early years of the twentieth century, created teams, associations, books and magazines about the game. In the decade of 20 the game became popular in other countries such as Sweden, France, Netherlands, Hungary and Germany. In 1926 he is the ITTF (International Table Tennis) and organized the first World Championship. A year later the Federation announces the rules of the 2 modes of play, the English based on 21 points, and European-based sets of six games. In 1928 the European system is removed and secured the English game system. It is an Olympic sport since the Seoul Games 88. The current sport is played best of 5 sets to 11 points (difference of two) You can play single or double mode. The serve must bounce once in the proper field and once in the enemy camp, without touching the network.
