Japanese inspired little box with a Torii for the lid handle. Torii are usually found at the entrance to shrines or temples and mark the transition from the mundane to sacred. I love the idea that this box may contain something sacred to its future owner and by keeping it in the box, they will be preserving it away from the everyday world. #box#shinto#torii#woodworking#sacred#specialplace
I occasionally pick up boxes of old tools to sift through and add useful items to my own collection. It's genuinely sad to sell on the ones I don't need - a bit of me wants to keep and honour them for their service and the spirit of those who used them so well before me. #oldtools#woodworking#legends
