I call this my Square “Hackberry” Box. On the top of the box is a “Rolling Star” quilt pattern. The square box is about 5" x 5" and 2 1/2" high on the outside. Inside it is 4" x 4" x 1 1/2". I made it using 116 pieces of wood cut in either diamond or triangle shapes from different kinds of wood. The box is finished in its natural color with 5 or 6 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand. The pieces are a bit over 3/16" thick, glued onto a Baltic Birch base, so they hold up much better than a thin veneer.

The type of wood is listed on the bottom of the box from the center out. On this box the wood is “Wenge” from West Africa, “Hackberry” and “Walnut” from Missouri.

I made this box in 1997. On the bottom I signed it, listed the wood, and dated it. After the date, the words “Foot Cut” let you know I made it on a foot powered table saw.

I lined the box with black velveteen.

The square box is just right to hold a deck of cards or some of your favorite jewelry.

The necklace you see in the open box does NOT come with it. It was bought for my Granddaughter from Natalie at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5070616 .

Go to my ”Shop Polices” and “Profile” page to see my return policy and other information on how I make these. To see other Square Boxes I’ve made, click on “Medium Boxes” or whatever gets your interest under “Sections in this shop”. The “Home” page itself can be rather confusing with everything mixed up. The “Sections in this shop” lets me show you all like items together as a unit.
