Story and Poem Boxes
We love stories and poems. These boxes tell stories- or relate short parts of poems- in two images: the top and the inside base. If you have a particular story or poem you love, contact us about making a box about it.
All boxes are handmade and one-of-a-kind.

Little Red Riding Hood Box
Padauk sides, woodburned and painted maple top and base, hinged
Size: 7" long and wide, 5" tall
SOLD
This box is handmade and is one-of-a-kind. We love fairy tales, and love to use the outside and inside of a box to try to tell an iconic story in two images. The top shows little red going into the dark woods at night, surrounded by bare trees. The inside shows a snarling, red-eyed wolf. The art is woodburned by hand onto maple and then painted and stained, and the sides are made of gorgeous red padauk wood with beautiful joinery. The hardware is ornate vintage brass hinges and matching front closure- a small lock would fit nicely into the clasp. This is a unique box for any fairy tale lover!

"I carry your heart" Box- e e cummings
Woodburned and painted maple top and base, padauk sides with dovetail joinery.
Size: 8" long x 5" wide x 5" tall
SOLD
This box is handmade and is one-of-a- kind. A poem box based on the wonderful romantic e e cummings poem "i carry your heart." Yes- I stole that face from a Man Ray photo- but I think my version is more interesting. The box contains a printed copy of the poem, which we can easily lacquer to the inside of the top at no extra charge.
This is a wonderful unique gift for a poetry lover.
