Wooden dividers keep recipes in order inside.

recipebox2.jpg The underside of the top of this box has a small plinth attached.  This is a recipe card holder, to allow the chef to place a recipe on top for easy viewing.

 

This box was designed by and made for my wife for her 30th birthday.  We have been quickly filling the space with our tried & true culinary favorites.

It is made from Quarter-sawn White Oak.  The outside was fumed with ammonia to darken it prior to cutting the lid off.  The inside remains much lighter as a result.  It was finished with linseed oil, shellac, and colored paste wax.
