Tasmanian Sassafras Card Box
Tasmanian Sassafras Card Box
This exquisite small keepsake box highlights the amazing grain variation and colours of the Tasmanian Sassafras tree. Fully lined, it makes a statement wherever it is placed, whether in the home or office.
Internal dimensions: (Including the space inside the lid) approximately 12cm L x 8.5 cm W x 5.5 cm H.
Of all Tasmanian timbers, sassafras has the most variable and dynamic colouring. It is a beautiful and pale creamy grey to white normally, but can be streaked with rich browns and black heart. In Tasmania, Sassafras is found in most areas of the state, except for drier areas of the east coast. It is common on both the eastern and western mountain ranges.
Craftsmanship:
Craig, the craftsman behind Bruce's Boxes, having been apprenticed for many years under his late father Bruce has a modern workshop with all the newer woodworking tools, however at the end of the day, nothing beats the finish of good old fashion 'elbow Grease'. In other words, the timber products he makes are all hand finished.Craig firmly believes gaining a quality finish is as much about feel as sight.
Craig knows his timbers and only purchases select grade material sustainably sourced in Tasmania for his boxes. The timbers arrive seasoned and ready to be machined to dimension. Craig thicknesses each board and then invests extra time to colour match each component to provide the best combination for each box. Over the years Craig has built relationships with a small number of well-respected millers and timber merchants in Tasmania and he always makes sure to source his timber sustainably.
Bruce's Boxes are crafted from fine solid timber, offering an unmatched feel, smell, and look that glossy thin veneers simply cannot replicate. The lids are attached to the box bodies using full-length piano hinges with specially designed back rests, providing excellent stability and strength.
You will love your Tasmanian Sassafras Card Box as much as Craig loved making it for you.

We were particularly impressed with the quality of the product, the workmanship is excellent. The website is easy to use and the photographs from different angles make it easy to fully see the products which is helpful when it is not possible to see the item personally. The staff were most helpful when we contacted them with queries and the prompt service and delivery was much appreciated.
