Pennsylvania-style Spice Boxes
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: D. Douglas Mooberry
Although they’re called spice boxes, these small chests were used by Pennsylvania settlers to hold valuables. Hand-cut dovetails join the case, and the molding and feet are glued and nailed on with traditional, square-cut nails. The chest contains nine drawers. The spice boxes get a finishing touch with brass hardware and its shine from shellac and wax.
