Wood Box
(Previous | Next)
 
This wood box is copied from one found at the Pleasant Hill Shaker Community in Kentucky. The bin is sufficient to holds a long cold evening's supply of wood. The till at the top holds matches, gloves etc. The shape suggests a relationship with a settle bench (next page) where the till is removed and a lid is added to the bin to make a seat. This provides a comfortable place to sit on the porch or mudroom and convenient storage place for boots. A second relationship could be made to a settle table where the tall back is separate and removable. Against the wall it is a bench and away from the wall the top can be placed in the horizontal position to serve as a table.
 
Size: 32" high, 45" wide, 17" deep
