Fiddlehead Cream Slider Box
This Cherry and Walnut box is crowned with an image of creamy marquetry. The fiddlehead is one of my favorite images, in its perpetual unfolding. Slide the top to reveal a warm home for your potions.

HRT boxes are 11" long, 4" wide (including the feet) and 2.75"" tall. The vial holders are wide enough to accommodate both 1 mL and 1.5 mL vials.
The tops are made from locally milled wood with species indicated on each. The tops and bottoms are made of plywood combines\d hardwood and plywood with
veneer that I press myself Combining these types of woods and veneer address two needs. First, plywood is more stable than hardwood so it can accommodate the
movement of wood which never stops. Second, veneer is more sustainable
because one tree can provide thousands of sheets of veneer.
The linings are made of cork -- a fast growing, highly renewable tree.
I finish the boxes with Tung oil which has no VOCs.
Dust them on occasion. The tung oil is water-resistant but don't get them wet if you can avoid it.
I want you to love your box. Keep in mind that each box is unique and none is "perfect." Each has its own strengths and flaws. If you don't love it, please contact me for an exchange or refund.
