The Trapezoid Box is a unique and intricately designed wooden box that showcases a trapezoid shape on each of its three sides when closed. Created from high-quality woods, the box features triangular compartments that can pivot off the brass rod located at the back corner of the box. The compartments can turn freely around a 360-degree axis and will not tip due to the box’s weighted base, which contains one pound of buck-shot.
The Trapezoid Box is not only functional and practical, but it is also aesthetically pleasing. The finish on the box is the most time-consuming element, consisting of three coats of lacquer followed by paste wax that is hand-rubbed with fine steel wool. No stains are used on any of the woods that comprise the box, and the compartments are all lined with exquisite Ultrasuede.
The box’s top is also a secret compartment, which can only be accessed from underneath. This adds an air of intrigue to the overall design of the box and makes it a perfect choice for individuals who appreciate the art of concealment.
Designed by an expert in the field, the Trapezoid Box has been featured in a book by Andrew Crawford, entitled Fine Decorative Boxes, Sterling Publishers, on page 139. It has also been prominently showcased in American Woodworker magazine, which speaks to the quality of its design and execution.
This box is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship that goes into the creation of fine wooden boxes. The woods used to create the box are of the highest quality, with Canarywood and Ebony inlays that are both striking and visually appealing. The Trapezoid Box is a practical and artistic addition to any home or office and is sure to be a treasured possession for years to come.
