These boxes are made to the same patterns and methods that the Shaker community used 200 years ago.

I make these boxes by hand, using North American cherry and maple, two of the timbers used by the Shaker communities. The wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests. The bands are held together by copper tacks made on some of the original machines and imported from the USA.

These boxes were shown in the December show Old Ways, New Eyes' - all four artists use centuries old techniques but have a contemporary eye.
