This handmade jewellery and display box is a spin on the traditional Shaker box, with a little more legroom for holding jewellery and keepsakes. It also makes a beautiful display vessel for dried flowers. It was made by me using classic Shaker methods from domestic maple hardwood, painted with traditional, locally-sourced milk paint, and finished in hardwax oil.
The overall box size is 5" long, 3" wide, and 4" tall, and the inside dimensions are 4.5" x 2.75" x 3.5". The oval shape, gothic swallowtail fingers, and soft yellow finish make this a beautiful and unique way to store or display small keepsakes.
My environmental values:
All of my Shaker boxes are made from responsibly-sourced wood given a second life—I buy short boards of North American maple, walnut, and cherry from other wood studios that aren't able to use such small pieces. By the magic that is water, heat, and traditional woodbending, these are turned into reproduction Shaker boxes.
