Handcrafted, museum quality Shaker boxes that your treasures deserve.

Everyone has something that's valuable to them.  While some possessions represent a financial investment, many are sentimental - priceless items for the memories and feelings they represent.  KHK Woodworks was founded upon a simple mission:  Handcraft wooden Shaker boxes, elegant in every detail, that are worthy of the valuable contents people want to preserve or display.

Based on historically documented oval box plans of the Canterbury Shaker community dating back to 1798, our product line blends time honored craftsmanship with contemporary functionality for modern application.  Use the navigation menu at the top or bottom of the page to browse our full product line of elegant items arranged in the following categories:

  • Trays: Oval serving trays for entertaining guests or organizing personal collectibles.

As a small business with workshops in Mendon and Eastham Massachusetts, we remain true to our mission, working with our hands and our hearts using locally provided and sustainable materials.  From the sawmill down the street to the copper tack supplier in Michigan, we seek to support a small community of dedicated craftsman committed to supplying the world with products of natural beauty.

Unlike other box makers, KHK Woodworks saws all its wooden components from locally harvested hardwood trees.  This not only gives us tighter control on the quality of material we use, but enables us to offer a variety of hardwood species others can't match.  Selected from trees which may have otherwise been processed for firewood, we are ecologically conscious in hand producing products of enduring beauty.

Customers rave about the quality, craftsmanship, and finish of all our products.  Treat yourself or someone you love to something unique from our shop - you know you deserve it.
