This size #1 Shaker Box is 5” Long by 3” wide by 1 ¾” tall

A miniature Shaker box to hold that special piece of jewelry or other tiny keepsake. For needle workers these boxes can be useful to hold small sewing implements.

The sides of this box are constructed from maple and the top and bottom boards from quarter-sawn pine. Each swallowtail joint is individually hand-cut with a knife. Copper tacks secure both the bands and the top and bottom boards.

On painted and antiqued pieces the tacks are darkened to provide an aged appearance.  Per tradition the bottom of painted pieces are left unpainted, and are then dyed and oiled to provide an appearance of age.
