Typical Price: $74.00

This size #5 Tall Shaker Box is 10” Long by 7” wide by 5 ¼” tall.

Please note, this is not one of my regular size boxes. This is a size #5, but taller. If you are working on a stack of boxes, it will not fit inside a size #6 box.

A versatile Shaker box ideal for holding jewelry, loose change, keepsakes, and more. It's also perfect for organizing kitchen and sewing supplies!

Construction

Materials: The sides of this box are constructed from maple or birch and the top and bottom boards from quarter-sawn pine. All lumber is milled at our shop here in Embden, Maine.

Hand-Cut Joints: Each swallowtail joint is individually hand-cut by Robert LeHay, ensuring each piece is unique.

Fasteners: The band and top and bottom boards are secured with copper tacks made on original 19th-century machines.

Finish Options: Available in a variety of milk paint and natural finishes. All painted pieces receive two coats of a high-quality tung oil finish, while natural finish boxes receive five coats. This oil finish ensures that the box is well protected and the finish will only get better with age.

Aged Appearance: Copper tacks are darkened to provide a vintage look. Following tradition, the bottom of painted pieces is left unpainted, then dyed and oiled to provide an aged patina.
