Oak Sewing Box

Material

American White Oak

Finish

Satin hardwax oil

Features

Two tone contrast, Handmade brass arms, Hand cut dovetail joinery

This sewing box was made as a birthday gift for my fiancée, designed to inspire her creativity while she sews. Crafted from American white oak, one section is stained black using a steel wool and vinegar solution for contrast. The box opens with handmade brass arms, and all the hardware is brass, adding a classic touch. Inside, five compartments are carefully assembled with hand-cut dovetails for strength and detail. Finished with satin hardwax oil, it’s both beautiful and built to last. 

Made in my home workshop near Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
