Handmade Wooden Box with Top Opening, Drawer, Side Handles and Dovetailed Corners bamboo and there is one scratch

and there is one scratch on the lid near the edge

shining bright

All the better that handwritten right upon it is the history of its making: “Made from 1 piece red elm 1942 by Corina Layson”

Not until I got home did I give it a close look and realize that its canopy is made entirely of painstakingly folded Winton cigarette packs

I think it is both wonderfully specific and transcendentally good

Handmade Wooden Box with Top Opening, Drawer, Side Handles and Dovetailed Corners bamboo and there is one scratchAnother beautiful box! This one may have been made to serve as a jewelry box, as it seems what was once a cloth interior lining has been removed. It features a lid that opens to reveal storage on the top half, closing with a clasp, then a drawer with brass pull on the lower half. There are beautiful dovetailed corners on all sides of the box and on the corners of the drawers, and the sides feature brass handles for easy transport. Really lovely! 10 1
