I made this box from a curly piece of Swamp Kauri which layed in the swamps of New Zealands north Island since the ice age 3500 years ago. That is the age of Sabre-tooth-Tigers and Mammoths. I have sawn little planks of it which I put together to a slath to make the sides of the box of. I have embedded a small lock and put two of the Canadian quarter hinges at the back. The lid and bottom plate are of scrapwood, a coniferous kind.
