***Fyi, this is Tyler Morris Woodworking's etsy site because tylermorriswoodworking is too many letters for an etsy store. Furthermore, my kids affectionately (and accurately) call me Mr. Glueypants.***

Designed and built in Fort Collins, CO since 1998. These are the finest recipe boxes available and are built to last generations.

The corner joints are glued then reinforced with walnut splines and the lids are hinged with durable steel pins. Even the bottoms of our boxes are beautiful; we engrave our logo and join birch wood feet on the bottom of every recipe box.

Also, we attach a brass rosette on the back of the lid, allowing you to prop up a recipe card while you're cooking. Our oak recipe boxes are hand finished with salad bowl oil and will hold about 700- 3x5 index cards.


Dimensions:
Interior 5 3/8" wide x 7 1/8" deep x 3 3/8" tall.
Exterior 6 1/4" wide x 8" deep x 4 3/8" tall.

Recipe Box Care Tips
Your recipe card box has been finished with an oil/varnish blend. We have chosen this "penetrating-type" finish as opposed to a "film" finish because it gives the box a more natural appearance and is easy to maintain. We suggest that you apply additional oil to your box about once a year. We recommend Watco Danish Oil, Minwax Antique Oil, or Deft Danish Oil. These brands are found in most hardware stores.

First, you may want to give your box a light sanding with order 180-220 grit sandpaper to remove scratches or marks. Next, simply wipe on a light coat of oil, and about 5 minutes later, wipe off the excess. You may be wondering, "What if I never oil my recipe box?" Well, it will continue to perform just fine. However, it will look dry and lack the luster that results from additional coats of oil. Please consider the annual oil application a caring gesture. Enjoy.
