I made this box with White Pine, but here’s the thing—this wood comes from a tree that was given to me, that ended up being full to the brim with termites. However, dear buyer, do not be afraid, your box features no pests. Upon receiving the tree, I was looking at two large trunks, thinking I would be making dozens of projects with it. When I harvested lumber from these fallen trunks, I trimmed and trimmed until the wood was in its pure state. All that was left was enough wood to make this here box.
So, this box is the last survivor of a family of wood parts that were otherwise destined to be creations. It is for your keepsakes, but is in itself a keepsake. A reminder that searching for the diamond in the rough is a worthwhile pursuit.
