Carved boxes are made of oak, with pine boards for the bottoms and lids. The corners are either nailed, or glued and pegged. The bottom is nailed up to body of the box, and the lid is hinged with wooden hinges. Alternatively, oak lids, and iron, period-style hinges are available at an additional cost. Approximate dimensions: H: 8" W: 24" D: 14" At the time of ordering, a deposit of 50% is collected, and the work is scheduled. Lead times vary, depending on the scope of the project and the backlog of work. Smaller pieces like the carved boxes can usually be fitted in easily; the joined chests and chairs require more time. Shipping charges are additional. The Crafts Center joiners make furniture from oak, pine, ash and maple timbers, among others. All of these woods display a range of colors and textures that vary from tree to tree, even within one species. These are most notable when the furniture is new, and is to be expected. For a direct consultation with the artisan who will make your piece, contact Plimoth Plantation joiner Peter Follansbee pfollansbee@plimoth.org for furniture, or kroncarati@plimoth.org for all other work.
