Size #7 Oval Box, Antiqued Natural Finish **2nd, Discounted**

Please Note: This piece is being offered at a reduced price because I wasn’t fully satisfied with how the wood absorbed the finish, and the cover fits a bit loose. There’s absolutely nothing structurally wrong with it, and some may even prefer the appearance. The discount is based solely on my assessment of the finish and fit. If you have any questions regarding this piece, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

This size #7 Shaker Box in an antiqued natural finish is 13” Long by 9 ¼” Wide by 5 ¼” Tall

A versatile and spacious Shaker box, perfect for organizing your home, hobby, or craft supplies. Keep your items out of sight and secure, while adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to your home or office décor.

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.

Since 1993, LeHay’s Shaker Boxes has been making boxes and carriers in the Shaker tradition. While mass-produced, machine-made items have replaced many traditional products, nothing can replace the individuality of an item that has been created by hand using locally sourced materials. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our products!
