Custom Boxes

In the early years, I used several different styles of unfinished boxes. Eventually coming across this perfect size. The current box I use is 8.3” x 5.2” x 3.5”. Lightweight, yet sturdy, it is a nice quality of wood and very versatile. It has a hinged lid and a clasp to keep it closed. Made of Paulownia wood. These make the perfect keepsake boxes, and endless uses as well.
