Here I go again...
« on: July 06, 2010, 03:17:42 PM »
looking for something that only seems to exist on the wire.

I need a WOOD (oak, pine, whatever) recipe box that holds 3" x 5" cards. I don't want it decorated or painted, not branded or personalized, not fancied up, just a stinking wood box..

The wire is rife with the damn things but I can find one in a STORE!  I don't really want to pay $25.00 for one and have to pay almost that much more to get it shipped.

Does anyone know of a retail store that sells the things?

I've checked Bed, Bath and Beyond, Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma, J. C. Penny, Sears, Lowes, a variety of gift shops, and specialty shops, and no one even knows what I'm talking about for the most part.

Thanks.

Of all places...try Wal-Mart back in the Craft area .....or if you have them on shaky side Bryan's' Craft Stores.
also Cigar stores (good ones come in wood boxes)

If you can't find what you want email me , I'll knock one out in the shop gratis.

Seems to me that I've seen them in Office Depot, or Staples, or some such; if there is an old fashioned office supply store in the Ontario/Montclair environs, they might, I say, might have one.  We have a couple of them around here somewhere, if I can round one up - no promises about that, though, mind - I'll get it to ya' somehow or other.

I've looked everywhere I can think of and settled on one that's almost right made of basswood from Michaels.  Cost $2.99 and it's not much.  I can order one made of oak from online sources for about $12.00-$15.00 but S&H is almost as much as the box.  I'm still in the market for a goos one.

Major, I may take you up on your offer.

My wife has one with just stain on it, no idea where she got it, she came with it when we got married.  I'd send it to you but if I got caught I'd be dead.

Don't want that.  If I wanted you dead I'd have shot you myself.  ::)
