The family Bible held names and dates of births, marriages, deaths and was passed down from generation to generation. The Bible box was usually hand made by someone in the family as a gift to the newlyweds to hold the precious Bible. And generally, the deed for their land was enclosed in the box along with photos and private papers such as letters. Many times the parents would die and the children would never have seen its contents except for the Bible. When they opened it to find pictures and letters from their parents and other relatives, they were pleasantly surprised. Now it was their turn to protect the contents. It wasn't until the 17th century that Bible boxes were manufactured. Before that, they were hand made. It may have been a plain box, a box with the family name on it, or a beautifully carved box. As wood to make the box was usually plentiful, a tree was cut down and lumber made of it. And the Bible box was built knowing it would become a part of the home décor and seen by all who entered. Of course, the Bible box was kept close for daily readings and prayers.

CEDAR BIBLE BOX
Cedar Bible Boxes of all shapes and sizes have been used for just about everything imaginable. They have held tiny trinkets, used for shipping, and then used to hold various items. The cigar box has been used in stores before there were cash registers and are still being used on occasion for yard sales. The Bible box held many items too, but nothing as precious as the family Bible.
Some cedar Bible boxes were built with a stand so it was more of a piece of furniture in the home. And the person reading it would not have ot wrestle with carrying it from one place to another. They just opened the Bible on the stand and started reading.

Some of the cedar Bible box lids slid off, some pulled off, others raised or had hinges. Bibles were expensive and needed to be protected form the weather and insects while traveling by stage coach or covered wagon. And it wasn't uncommon to find saddlebags holding the family Bible box. Every colonial home had a Bible tucked safely into the Bible box.
The boxes were made out of many types of wood, but the cedar box was best. It was lighter weight, protected the Bible and all of the contents from moisture and insects as well as smelling delightful. It was easy to take care of and the fragrance added to the home too.
We make our Bible boxes out of cedar in the mill behind our home. Between the beauty of the grain and fragrance, it is a delight to see it come to life. We have a real passion for the Eastern red cedar and for the hand crafting of each Bible box.
Also on our property is our craft shop, the Purple Pansy where you can shop to your hearts content. Stop by and see for yourself the hand crafted items and visit the mill if you would like to see where everything is hand crafted. We can custom make just about anything you can think of.
