Details:
- Inside Box Dimensions (approximate in inches): 7.25 x 4.25 x 4.75
- Overall Box Dimensions (approximate in inches): 8 x 5 x 5.25
- Sapele splines are added to each corner on the lid and base of the box for added strength and to provide a decorative accent.
- All boxes are smoothly finished by hand using a satin protective, danish oil finish.
- Since each box is made to order, the wood grain pattern/color will vary from order to order and exact dimensions may vary slightly.

My Process:
Each of these boxes are made from single rough-sawn planks of walnut and maple woods.

First, they are cut to general sizes, and then undergo a process of milling, ripping, routing and gluing/clamping. The joints are specifically mitered and strengthened with contrasting splines for both functional and decorative purposes.

Each piece is as precisely measured as it is artistically formed, and is lined up with firm emphasis given to the look of the grain throughout.

My finishing process entails carefully sanding each box using increasing grits to achieve a smooth and attractive feel/look. This is followed by adding several coats of a a satin danish oil finish to protect each box while accentuating the wood.

Lastly, the hinges are installed.

One Tree Planted:
While the impact of woodworkers is typically considered very low when it comes to sustainable forestry, it is part of our mission to give hotsell back and to make sure that future generations are able to enjoy the long-lasting beauty and sustainability that trees provide. To further this goal, we have partnered with One Tree Planted to plant trees using a portion of our sales!

For every $100 that you spend in our shop or on custom furniture, a tree will be planted by local partner organizations and community volunteers in areas where there has been deforestation.
