Simple, handsome 17th-century box
Synopsis: Step away from the machines and try making a carved box from the 17th century. Peter Follansbee demonstrates how to make this greenwood box, using reference surfaces for layout with the knowledge that handwork doesn’t depend on all surfaces being perfectly flat and square. Rabbeted joinery accommodates the variables inherent in handwork, and a carved surface and lidded till add some fancy touches.
Carving comes first. It makes sense to carve the box parts before cutting joinery. See Master Class to learn how Follansbee lays out and carves these patterns.
Boxes like this one were a common 17th-century form in New England and old England. The construction is no-frills: pinned rabbets at the corners, a nailed-on bottom, a hinged top with cleats to limit cupping. The only real fussy part is the till, but its impact is great. People ooh and ahh over tills.
