Orange Painted Much Loved Wooden Carpenter's Box folk tales I have to stop myselfI spotted this orange painted wooden carrying box from afar and knew I had to have it; the patina on its old orange paint, covered in scuffs and scrapes, is just perfect, as is its form, and its size plus it's useful for everything. I found it filled with old hardware, which its owner kindly relocated into another box, but it would also be great as a caddy for art supplies, or for mail, or silverware, or whatever. Just great. 12 1 2" long x 8 1 2 deep
