Description
Our Boxes
Each box is handmade, from premium hardwood, no plywood or pressboard! We do not stain or paint any of our boxes but apply several finishing coats of lacquer to show off the natural wood grain.
Choose from 4 different woods (shown in the listing photos): Ambrosia Maple, Mahogany, Cherry, and Walnut. Please note that the wood grain will vary from box to box.
-
Ambrosia maple wood varies greatly and can be very light with little variation or very dark with grain contrasts and wormholes.
-
Cherry wood is our second lightest wood and is pretty consistent.
-
Mahogany is a darker reddish wood, and has the most consistent grain.
-
Walnut wood is our darkest, please note that walnut wood may not show engraving as well as the other woods.
The box is 12”x8”x4".
