Shaker Oval Boxes by John Wilson is a beautiful book. Some might call it a “coffee table book”. It is filled with beautiful photos of all sorts of oval (and round and rectangle) boxes. Some are in the Shaker style and some are from other countries and traditions. Wilson categorizes the boxes as original, derivative and diverse and each box is presented with a brief description. This book should provide you with all sorts of inspiration when you are building your own shaker boxes.

Saw these at Dollywood Craft Fair. They look great and would be a great addition to home decor, plus they are useful. I would love to have the book.
I am in the process of making a vanity and linen tour of Shaker style.
I think that a Shaker box would make a nice addition to these. I was thinking making one for years now :-).
