Oak box & some panels for sale
In the midst of a flurry of shop activity, I made one of these small oak boxes recently.
It’s based on some Thomas Dennis boxes, one of which I’ve seen, the others I only know from photographs. It’s made just the same as a period box - in this case, riven red oak with a millsawn pine board for the bottom. It’s small - 6 1/8” high, 9 1/4” x 13 3/4”. But it’s made just the same as my other full-sized boxes - all the oak riven and planed by hand, corner joints fastened with glue and wooden pins. This time it has iron hinges - these small-scale examples from Horton Brasses (although the hinges are iron.) A lidded till inside.
It’s available for sale - $1,000 - including shipping in the US. If you’re interested, email me and we can sort out the details. These days I add Paypal’s fee onto the price if paying that way. A check, though old-school, avoids the fee. My email is here Peterfollansbee7@gmail.com

A while back I had some carved panels for sale - those sold and then generated a waiting list for another round of panels. I went through the list and ended up with a couple of leftovers. These are riven red oak - the best stock I have is reserved for panels. Linseed oil finish.
Ipswich panel
This one’s based on a Thomas Dennis chest in the Winterthur Museum collection - mine differs a little from that one. It’s 10” x 14 1/4” - and is one of the best of the recent batches of panels.
$550 including shipping in US. Paypal price $570. Same as above, email me with questions, etc -

Devon Panel
This one’s based on an English example - related to the New England ones (or vise-versa). It’s 8 3/4" x 14 1/2" - price is $500 including shipping, paypal $518

The panels I was carving were all in the range of 14”-15” long. Some of them came out of stock a good bit longer than that - so ended up with some worthwhile off-cuts and from them made two small panels -
Connecticut flower
This one’s based on some chests I studied made around Wethersfield, CT in the last third of the 17th century. It’s 8” square - $200 includes shipping in US. Paypal price $207.

One more - this one based on the chests and boxes from Braintree, Massachusetts. It’s 7 5/8” square.
Just a reminder if you ever see boxes, panels, chairs, etc for sale here & miss out, I take orders too. I’ve got a few underway right now, but most always welcome more. This box is still available - more expensive, a full-sized box with a handmade iron lock …
Carved box for sale
This post is a continuation of the previous one. This box was part of the group of three items I bought back recently.
Hi Peter, do you take coupons? Sorry, a stupid joke I know, but I've been following your work for a long time and maybe I'll get a chuckle out of you. Love your work. I took a class with you a long time ago. Anyway, hope to meet you again someday. Good luck to you.

Love the Connecticut sunflower panel. Saving my money for a big August vacation, but I might need to come back and request one of those later this year.
