Imagine giving to a new daughter-in-law on her anniversary the next size of your set of handcrafted Shaker nesting oval boxes. The annual exchange symbolizes the ever growing bonds between the families. The partial nest in each household is a constant reminder of what is evolving. And the practice can become a treasured family tradition to repeat with the next generation.
The Shakers are legendary for their sense of honor, commitment and craftsmanship. A Shaker reproduction shows the recipient how much you love, respect and cherish them.
Handcrafted Shaker oval boxes show subtle variation in the trimming of the fingers and placement of the tacks and pegs. In respect to the Shakers, there should not be any glue or filler used – craftsmanship is all. The boxes will not have machine-like regularity, but neither do memories and traditions.
