It’s a.... Pocket Shut the Box! for those travelling days. Made from oak & american walnut, with a hint of purple heart & bog oak. The lid becomes the dice table during play. Numbers on the counters are symbolised by the pips. Magnets secure the lid to the base. And these lil’ dice, 8mm, bounce around making an nice click-ed-y clack sound against the wood.
Made in November 2020, this is the second edition in the Oakes & Oakes shut the box game range. Serial number STB-2. No two game boards are ever the same.
All game boards are hand made using no machinery.
How to play instructions and certificate included with ever board.
The board measures 10.5 x 9.3 x 3.5 cm
About Bog Oak
Our bog oak has been sourced from the Fenlands of England. The story goes... approximately 7,000 years ago a rise in sea levels caused the rivers to back up and flood the East Anglian fenlands. The gigantic oak trees that lived on this land died standing, fell into the slit of the forest floor allowing them to be preserved in an oxygen starved environment. Fast forward to the present day and now the heavily cultivated farmlands around the fens often have the sub-fossilised oaks pop up to the surface. The process of drying the timber out is one of real skill. A slow process requiring an experienced eye. Typically by the end of the drying process a staggering 4 gallons of water gets extracted per cubic foot.
