Woodworker: Craig Johnson
The yellow birch used in Johnson’s sliding-lid box (7 in. deep by 11 in. wide by 4 in. tall) was reclaimed after years spent underwater, having been lost by loggers more than 150 years ago in a local lake. The box features hand-cut dovetails and a hand-carved recessed pull, and is finished with shellac and beeswax.
