Handcrafted Oak Heirloom Box
A delicately crafted Solid Oak box, with a richly patterned veneer floor, solid brass lock and stop hinges.
This small, practical box has been carefully crafted by hand, saw and chisel cut dovetails on the corners ensure this box is strong, and beautiful for many years to come. The floor is handcut veneer on a solid oak base, with a unique pattern of my own design, with oak, walnut, rosewood, and white dyed birch. The lock is finely crafted of solid brass, with two keys.
The box has been hand sanded, buffed, and coated with a natural Danish oil for a hardwearing finish. This process gives the wood and wonderful shimmer and brings out the rich colours and patterns in the grain that you wouldn't normally see.
It is a slower process crafting with handtools, using a sander only to remove excess wood after glueing. But the end result is a box that is not factory made, but rather, has a character and life to it. It does show some signs of the hand process, and I hope the photos accurately represent this.
Internal Dimensions:
Length 149mm
Width 74mm
Depth 38mm
