The Boxes
Our Hobby Boxes stack and clip together with neat little steel catches. They could stack forever but we recommend a maximum of four layers plus the lid.
Each box has a different layout, designed with a hobby in mind. But with a little imagination they are useful for all sorts of things! Special treasures, crafts, tools, trinkets, stamps, coins, photos, games, sweet treats…
We make each hardwood Hobby Box from a solid piece of ash, beech or sycamore, sourced from around our workshop in the Lake District. The wood comes from trees that have been felled due to danger or disease, or have come down of their own accord in storms or for other reasons. This makes the material the most sustainable we can imagine, having virtually no carbon footprint whilst showcasing the beauty of slow grown English hardwood. We pick the pieces that have the most character, colour and variety which means that every box is unique and beautiful.
The Lid
A solid hardwood lid with a hand made leather handle. We worked with Black Sheep Leather, local to us in Kendal, to develop this handle which is carefully dyed and stitched using high quality Italian leather. Choose from our three styles.
Flo –
Love my new craft box! I’ve just started knitting and I’ve added all my arty things, great to have everything in one place and to be able to customise the layers. A deeper tray would be great in future
