Custom Crafted

 The following hourglasses ( sand timers)  are custom made by myself. (Glass is imported.) Various woods will be used as availability dictates. If you would like to choose your favorite type of wood, just let me know and I will do my best to locate and handcraft to your specifications.  Times can be adjusted to suit your needs. Sand is available in several colors and on custom orders only. The sand or Ballotini (tiny glass shot) colors are, blue, mauve, green, yellow, pink, red, orange  and  white. Otherwise the sand is a natural color (tan). For those of you who keep a 50 minute hour I can adjust time accordingly. For an additional $20.00 I can add what you want in place of sand or sand you may have and want put in a glass. I have done sand from all over the world. Urns are available too. A custom glass may have to be made but just about anything is possible. Engraving can be done as well.  Call for details and pricing.

All items on this page are made by me here in the U.S.A.

     Quantity pricing is available. Call for details.

 Online orders are done through Pay Pal.  If you have a problem ordering from my site give me a call and I can help you.  Since the options for the custom glasses are so many ( wood type, sand color, run time, inlay etc.) I will need to be sure all the information is correct. If an option is not listed as yet please feel free to call and place your order. The larger and unique glasses will still need to be phoned in as shipping cost vary on those. There should be a place to send me a note when you are checking out your order. Please use that area to specify you inlay choice’s and wood type as well as sand color and runtime for your custom glass.
