Aspen Box with Catalpa Lid
Most boxes are made from various species of wood that come from regions of Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana. Much of the wood used is repurposed from fallen and dead trees, giving the box its unique characteristics. Boxes are sanded and finished with three coats of lacquer for long-lasting durability.

No two boxes are alike!
This box is made from beautiful, reclaimed Aspen with Walnut splines and a Catalpa lid, that comes from Estes Park, Colorado / Indiana. The Aspen was picked up as scrap wood in Estes Park, CO that had been cut into stumps around 6-9 inch diameter. I sliced and planed the wood into usable strips. The remaining pieces not suitable for box material is usable for other projects. I try not to waste any of the natural resources I acquire.
Dimensions: 8.75 x 3.9 x 3.7 (not including lid) (Boxes are measured in inches- Length, Width, Height - Measurements are approximate)
Many boxes have decorative knobs re-shaped from segmented bowl scraps from my father’s segmented bowls created over the past 20 years.
