This round box with recessed lid has a diameter of 8” and is 3 ½” tall.

Please note: To attach your needlework, you will need to supply an "insert" (not included). A piece of foam core board is often used and can be purchased at many online or local craft supply shops.

The recessed lid of this box allows needleworkers to install finished pieces onto the top of the box. The top board on the cover is recessed ¼”.

A versatile Shaker box ideal for holding jewelry, loose change, keepsakes, and more. It's also perfect for organizing kitchen and sewing supplies!

Construction:

  • Materials: The sides of this box are constructed from maple or birch and the top and bottom boards from quarter-sawn pine. All lumber is milled at our shop here in Embden, Maine.
  • Fasteners: The band and top and bottom boards are secured with copper tacks made on original 19th-century machines.
  • Finish Options: Currently, we are only offering this product in an antiqued natural finish. It receives five coats of a high-quality tung oil, ensuring the box is well protected and that the finish will only improve with age.
  • Aged Appearance: Copper tacks are darkened to provide a vintage look. 

Since 1993, LeHay’s Shaker Boxes has been making boxes and carriers in the Shaker tradition. While mass-produced, machine-made items have replaced many traditional products, nothing can replace the individuality of an item that has been created by hand using locally sourced materials. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our products!
