These boxes are crafted from 3/8 inch Oak, Maple, or Cherry hardwood. They have a recessed top and bottom made from 1/4 inch Oak, Maple, or Cherry plywood. The corners are mitered and the top edges are rounded over to give them a beautiful finished appearance. They have an interlocking hinged lid with 90 degree stop hinges to support the lid. And last, they have a small decorative latch to keep them closed tightly. We sand the inside and outside so they are ready to finish right out of the box. The outside dimensions of this box are approximately 10 x 6 x 2 inches, with a total inside area of 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 1 1/4.
