| Description | A bentwood spoon box with carved rectangles on the sides. The box is made from steaming a single plank of wood into shape, then kerfing the corners. Two opposing sides have rectangles carved along the upper edges and the other two opposing sides have them carved along the lower edges. Heavy spruce root cordage is woven through recessed channels on each side close to the base. The base is attached with cordage and extends just beyond the sides of the box, making it wider at the base. |
