Shaker Inspired Wood Box / Basket Wormy Maple
Made in very similar style and size to the original Shaker design. These boxes are made using select pieces of wood that are planed thin and glued up in a box shape. Then a piece of the same or similar species of wood is steam-bent to form the handle. The handle is attached using small wood pegs. These make a great small carry-all and a great display item with a traditional country feel. The boxes measure 8" X 5" X 3 1/4" plus the handle height. The featured box is made from Maple wood with mitered corners. Very interesting piece of wormy maple. I finish my boxes using an oil varnish that is then hand-rubbed to a nice satin sheen. Thanks for looking Mark..

Crosscut Joinery stems from a strong artistic family background and desire to create. I’ve been designing and building wood products both professionally and as a hobby for more than 20 years. I truly enjoy all aspects of woodworking – from choosing the right wood for a project through all the necessary steps to create a high-quality, one-of-a-kind item.
I’m inspired by the simple and true lines of the Shaker style but do not limit myself to one type of design. I find that I build what interests me, whether it is a blanket chest made from rare sapele wood; a Shaker side table of walnut; or memory boxes built from interesting finds in my lumber stack. These days I am able to build what I like -- I hope you like it as well.
