All of our boxes are hand made by my sons and I in my shop in Tennessee. We use only strong American hardwoods for the construction of the sides of our boxes. This gives your box strength to last for generations. We don’t soft woods like pine or imported woods. These boxes are crafted from 3/8 inch Poplar, Oak, Maple, or Cherry hardwood. They have a recessed top and bottom made from 1/4 inch Maple, Oak, or Cherry plywood. The corners are mitered and the top edges are rounded over to give them a beautiful finished appearance. They have an interlocking hinged lid with 90 degree stop hinges to support the lid. And lastly, they have a small decorative latch to keep them closed tightly. We sand the inside and outside so they are ready to finish right out of the box. The outside dimensions of this box are approximately 12 1/8 x 9 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches. The inside of the boxes have 12 removable compartment that are 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 to separate your favorite teas. Hope you give us a try.
