Crafted from cherry wood, each box showcases the timber's distinctive warm reddish-brown tones and unique grain patterns. Natural resin spots and darker streaks give every piece its own character, while the hand-carved surface creates beautiful light and shadow effects you'll want to touch. The traditional construction technique draws inspiration from shrink pots. This clever approach uses the wood's natural movement to hold everything together without a single nail or screw. The detailed robin perched on top isn't just decorative – it makes the perfect little handle for opening your box. We've finished each piece with oil to enhance the wood's natural beauty. With proper care and the occasional oil treatment, your box will develop a rich patina that only gets more beautiful with age.
Britain's favourite garden bird, the robin (Erithacus rubecula), is instantly recognisable with its bright red breast and friendly demeanour. These clever little birds spend their days hunting insects and grubs from tree bark and garden soil. While some head south for winter, many brave British robins stay put, switching to seeds and berries – and gratefully accepting offerings from garden bird tables.
