This handmade wood tissue box cover is covered in select quartersawn white
oak wood veneers.
Most mission purists are looking for the classic "ribbon and ray" flake pattern
that is produced when red or white oak is "quarter sawn". Many people however do
not know the difference between and Quarter Sawn, and Plain Sawn and Rift Sawn.
The annual growth rings in the tree from which boards are cut produce the most
prominent part of the grain pattern. Plain sawn lumber has growth rings that are
less than 30 degrees orientation to the surface of the board. This produces the
indistinct oak grain pattern that you typically see in cabinets and less
expensive furniture and flooring.
The cube box covers are designed to fit the Puff
upright box but will also fit Kleenex. The inside dimensions are 4 3/8" x 4
5/8"x 5 3/8" tall. Box walls are 1/4" thick , box does not have a bottom. The
box fits as a sleeve over the top of the box the opening fits nicely with the
oval shape of the box.
