Now THAT's A BOX!

Massive! How are y’all using those brass/copper pins?

A very large beautiful box. I love the wood.

They are copper clinch nails. All sizes needed for Shaker boxes available from ShakerOvalBox.com (John Wilson and Eric Pintaur).

Big box! Great results!

Wow. You’re right about that. That’s a box!

They are copper clinch nails (tacks). They are driven with a hammer against an anvil. The tip of the tack rolls over and clinches against the wood preventing pull-out.

Is that a Shaker coffin, or what? :-)

I’ve made these for years, but never this big. Golly that must have needed real muscle & control to bend. gorgeous wood, and a lovely box..the shaker coffin comment above, made me laugh!

It actually bent fairly easily. It does take two people to bend it; not for strength but because the size is awkward. We made a short video of one of the bends.

Fantastic! I took the class from John at Pleasant Hill Kentucky some time ago and have made a lot of the smaller boxes since then. The big boxes are definitely on the to do list.
