The Shakers produced oval boxes with uniformly slender sides symmetrical joints and neat tight-fitting lids. Craster Shaker oval boxes are designed based on reproductions of the original forms and templates used at the Mt. Lebanon New York Shaker community during the mid-19th century. Similar to the Shakers we produce our oval boxes in eleven different sizes (No. 0 being the smallest box and No. 10 being the largest box). Craster Shaker boxes are handcrafted from Silver Birch Betula pendula. They are secured by copper tacks with the tops and bottoms fastened with wooden pegs.
