This is a pyrographed box that began it's existence as a wooden cigar box. I get these boxes from tobacconists and gently remove labels and clean it, remove the finish in the areas to be decorated with scrapers so as to not damage the finish veneer, apply a stencil, then using pyrography (wood burning) tools apply the image. This is for a small box, suitable for keeping incense, candles, or other altar supplies.
The box's exterior dimensions are:
Small: 5 1/2"W X 6"D X 2 3/4"H (15 cm W X 14 cm D X 7 cm H) or smaller
Medium:Any box whose total measurements (W+D+H) are greater than 14.25" and less than 18 3/4"
Large: 7 1/4"W X 7 1/4"D X 4 3/8"H (18.5 cm W X 18.5 cm D X 11 cm H) or larger
Special: Boxes that are of an unusual size, shape or finish that requires extraordinary effort to prepare and/or apply graphics
All sizes are as measured by hand with a ruler. These boxes previously contained cigars, and may still have their aroma.
The pictures in the listing are all images that I have done, either on commission or for stock. Those specific pieces may or may not be in stock, but I can make a box with the same or other pictures on request.
10% of the sale price of this box will be donated to Three Branch River Grove, ADF, an Grove of Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship providing education, community, and support to those seeking to follow a druid’s path in the Hampton Roads, VA area.
