Wood Selection
Selecting the Wood
Suitable pine boards are selected with care for the dimensions, character and intended purpose of the piece.
The Natural Wax Journey
Handcrafted. Finished with natural wax.
From careful pine selection to the final hand-buffed finish, each stage gives attention to the natural character of the wood.

Behind the Finished Piece
16 considered stages.
A natural finish shaped by careful work beneath the surface.
From raw pine to the completed box, every stage contributes to its character. Natural wood wax is applied and buffed by hand, with a different character from our sealed polished finish.
Our Craftsmanship Process
Four chapters.
Sixteen considered stages.
From selected pine to a carefully hand-buffed natural wax finish.
Material
Begin with the wood.
Material selection, inspection and careful preparation lay the foundation for the piece.
02
Material Inspection
Understanding the Grain
Grain, natural markings and the condition of each board are inspected before preparation begins.
03
Surface & Filler Preparation
Preparing the Raw Surface
Small irregularities are addressed where needed to prepare the surface for accurate shaping and refinement.
04
Machine Sanding
Sanding the Foundation
The raw wood is sanded to refine the surface while keeping its natural texture and grain visible.
Form
Shape with intention.
Precision cutting, pre-assembly sanding, signature stamping and protection prepare each part for joining.
05
Precision Cutting
Cutting with Precision
Individual components are measured and cut to suit the box design, proportions and planned assembly.
06
Pre-Assembly Sanding
Refining Each Component
The separate wooden parts are sanded before joining, including edges and areas harder to reach later.
07
Signature Stamping
Leaving Our Signature
The brand mark is placed with care as part of the piece, before the next stages of assembly and finishing.
08
Masking & Protection
Protecting Selected Areas
Areas requiring a clean boundary are masked where appropriate before further work is carried out.
Wax Preparation
Prepare and finish by hand.
Assembly, careful sanding, dust removal and hand-applied wood wax bring the natural character of pine forward.
09
Assembly & Clamping
Bringing the Structure Together
Prepared components are aligned, joined and secured while the box structure takes shape.
10
Post-Assembly Sanding
Refining the Assembled Box
Edges, joints and assembled surfaces are refined through further sanding for a more consistent finish.
11
Dust Removal
Preparing a Clean Surface
Sanding residue is carefully removed so the wood surface is ready for wax application.
12
Wood Wax Application
Applying the Natural Wax
Wood wax is applied to the prepared surface, bringing attention to the natural appearance and feel of pine.
Final Details
The final touches matter.
Wax buffing, hardware fitting, inspection and presentation complete the natural wax finish journey.
13
Wax Buffing
Hand Buffing the Finish
The waxed surface is buffed by hand to refine its appearance and develop a gentle, natural-looking sheen.
14
Hardware Fitting
Fitting Functional Details
The required hinges and closure hardware are fitted and checked for alignment and smooth operation.
15
Quality Inspection
Checking Every Detail
The assembled piece is checked for finish, alignment, detailing and hardware before final presentation.
16
Final Reveal
The Finished Natural Wax Piece
The completed piece brings together natural pine character, hand finishing and carefully fitted details.
Made by Hand
Precision matters. Individual character does too.
Wood is a natural material, so grain, knots, tone and subtle handcrafted details can vary from one creation to another. Those differences are part of the individual character of the finished piece.
