{"product_id":"ebonised-french-oak-keepsake-box","title":"Ebonised French Oak Keepsake Box","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"611\" data-start=\"273\"\u003eBand sawn from a single block of French oak, this lidded keepsake box reflects Josephine’s patient, material led approach to woodworking. The form was first developed while working with limited machinery at the Karekare House residency in 2022, embracing simplicity and restraint and allowing proportion, surface and touch to take focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"995\" data-start=\"613\"\u003eThe French oak has been ebonised using a traditional process of steel wool, vinegar and black tea, deepening the grain and giving the box a soft, matte black finish. Hand carved grooves trace the edge of the lid, while fine carved lines along the base introduce a tactile detail. The lid insert is formed from the inner cut of the same block of wood, reinforcing the integrity of the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1286\" data-start=\"997\"\u003eDesigned as a keepsake box, it is well suited to storing jewellery, incense, pens and pencils, or other small treasures on a desk, shelf or tabletop. Each piece is made entirely from one block of timber and finished by hand, resulting in natural variations in grain, tone and texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1517\" data-start=\"1509\"\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1520\" data-start=\"1517\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEbonised finish is colourfast. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClean gently with a dry, soft paintbrush. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWipe with a lightly damp cloth if needed and dry immediately\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Josephine Jelicich","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":43016042938481,"sku":"JOS-001","price":249.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long","offer_id":43016042971249,"sku":"JOS-002","price":269.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9675\/9409\/files\/josephine-jelicich-keepsake-box-01.jpg?v=1772427511","url":"https:\/\/shop.handcraftedmodern.co\/products\/ebonised-french-oak-keepsake-box","provider":"Handcrafted Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
