Warming up by the fire this winter will be even more cozy when your eye glances upon this unusual long matchbox resting on your mantel. Handcrafted from solid cherry wood with solid maple edging at the three corners, this box will comfortably keep more than twenty long stemmed fireplace matches close at hand. The included phosphorus-coated strike stick can be hung from a nearby nail or can nest inside the box if you prefer.

Far more attractive than the typical long, rectangular carboard box used to hold fireplace matches, this triangular wooden box stands approximately ten inches tall, by four inches wide by three inches deep. Fireplace matches ten inches in length will fit perfectly in the box, protruding slightly from the opening in the top of the box where a single match can easily be plucked.

The triangularly shaped box and maple edges were carefully cut and fitted using hand-held tools and small shop machines. Similar boxes in a variety of wood selections will be available in my store, but these are photos of the exact box you will receive, with all the charming characteristics of the particular piece of walnut used to make this box.

Your order comes with a phosphorus coated strike stick on which to light the matches. Matches and bottle of wine not included.

A cozy evening by the fire is waiting for you.
