Carriers
A carrier is built like my oval boxes, only with a handle so it can travel from room to room. I make the fixed-handle carriers in seven sizes, Size #0 through Size #6, along with a swing-handle carrier, two divided carriers, and the Shaker sewing carrier.

Shipping is included in every price on this page.
I ship within the United States only.
Hand-cut, tacked, and fitted.
Maple, birch, or ash sides milled on-site, quartersawn Eastern white pine bottoms, hand-cut swallowtail joints, and copper tacks — with handles of ash or pine, depending on the piece.
Painted pieces get a few coats of milk paint — as many as the color needs to cover fully — then two coats of tung oil. Natural pieces are dyed for an antiqued look, then finished with five coats of tung oil. These finishes are meant to deepen and improve with handling and age.
