Carved Oak Boxes (with Peter Follansbee)

For more information about our tools, please visit our website: http://www.lie-nielsen.com/ Carved oak boxes, a standard item in 17th century New England homes, also fit well in modern ones. This video covers the layout, carving and construction used in two versions: one box fastened with iron nails, the other with wooden pins and glue. One box features wooden hinges, the other, blacksmith-made iron hinges. The larger “desk” box is fitted with lidded tills inside, along with a gallery of drawers.
