These boxes are Kathryn’s first fully handmade boxes, which she made at her shop in BC from Canadian fir and resin. The resin and inner wood finish are food safe and made in Canada, and the wood has a beautiful striped grain.

The blossom design is made with hand-applied metal leaf. Kathryn built these boxes from scratch, as a way to learn her new saws.

The inset lid is finished with food safe resin, and is hard and shiny like glass. The edges are sized slightly larger than the box so it is easy to lift out. The lid has a fitted but not airtight fit. There is subtle glitter in the resin to make it look like polished stone. It has been stamped on the back with the artist's custom wood burning brand.

Note from Kathryn - I’m still a beginner woodworker and some parts of these boxes are “practice” quality - there may be some cosmetic flaws in the finish, and the lids are not airtight, but they have that handmade look! I’ve enjoyed making something from scratch and having complete control over the design and materials. Thanks for supporting my learning process.

Box Sizes and Care

There are three sizes of Firwood boxes; small, medium and large. This is the Medium size - please see photos for comparisons and examples of what they can hold.

This Medium square box measures approximately 3.5” high, and 4.5” square on the outside dimensions, and would be suitable to hold keepsakes, candy, jewelry, essential oils or vanity items. The medium and large boxes are the same height, and are sized to hold essential oil bottles or thread spools.

Cleaning instructions: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The flat resin surface can be cleaned with glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Read more about resin care here.
