When he graduated from LSU in 1976, Bill Long received a gift desktop valet with a tiger painted on the lid. He used (and treasured) that valet every day for 33 years, first as a letter box and more recently as a cell phone/electroic device charging station. Now, competemplating retirement from teaching, he has established TigerBoxes for the purpose of creating high quality hardwood valets, boxes, and original art for LSU alumni, friends and fans. All of our LSU valets and boxes are hand-made by Louisiana craftsmen from premium woods, including mahogany, walnut, oak, cypress or cedar. Each unique box has an original art etcing depicting LSU. An artist, and writer, Dr. Long designed the LSU premier legacy valet and the smaller TigerBoxes, obtained licensure from the Collegiate Licensing Company and LSU, and engaged a team of incredible Louisiana artists-craftsmen to work with him to make the ultimate legacy TigerBox.
