Rikkor & GaryK…
Pipe boxes were in early American taverns & were used to hold long stem ceramic pipes. The stems are about 12” long. When leaving the tavern & after smoking the pipe, smokers would break of about an inch of the pipe off the tip (for sanitary ? reasons ?) & put it back in pipe box. The little drawer was used to hold “spills”, little strips of dried wood used to light the pipes from a fire place. I painted the pipe box with a light blue paint that is considered a “historic” color & antiqued it after painting. I clipped the sides off the heads of wire nails to make them look like old time hand forged square nails & glued & nailed the pieces together. Minwax Mahogany stain was used on the other two items to give them a deeper red color.

Three very nice useful objects made out of scrap. I am very fond of using scrap wood. Your information on pipe boxes is very interesting

Great lines & style. They look authentically old as well as being practical and useful. Thanks, too, for the original use & background info.
