White Oak and Birdseye Maple
Subtle elegance emanates from the monochrome of pale White Oak and Maple. But the Birdseye pattern of the Maple couples with the pop of vegan Blue cork to couple your strength with its own.

The sides of these boxes are constructed with hardwoods local to the Hudson Valley and milled in my shop. The tops and bottoms consist of 1/4 plywood and hand-cut and glued veneers. 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 a hard wax called Rubio Monocoat which has no VOCs.
These medicine boxes are 11" long, 4" wide and 2.75 high. Important note: the vial holders are 1/2" wide and accommodate vials up to 1.5". (This generally means up to 200mg/1 mL
According to the maker of Rubio Monocoat, which is the finish I use,these surfaces need only be dusted periodically. If needed, a water-dampened cloth or mop may be used to wipe down the surface.
Rubio makes a "Surface Care Spray" which is the only recommended cleaner.
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.
