- Why did I build this?
I started playing EDH and my other boxes work great for a single deck without tokens or dice. However, many of my friends who play EDH decks use tons of tokens, dice, counters and need a lot of room for that stuff. I also wanted to make some more room for my deck so I wasn't making too much friction on the sleeves getting them in and out. This box was built to accommodate any EDH deck strategy plus newest look darn good. 1.25" extra storage will store about 30-50 tokens depending on how you sleeve them.
- What is it?
This deckbox is specifically designed to hold 100 double sleeved Magic the Gathering cards. This wooden box acts like a deck sized humidor, and will help to keep excessive moisture away from your cards. The wood naturally regulates the temperature of the contents, and helps maintain a constant humidity level to best preserve your investment. This box makes a huge amount of discussion when I open it and I'm always getting complimented on the box.
- What's it made from?
TOP/SIDES:
Black Walnut - It's very hard and will be able to handle a reasonable level of abuse. Very deep and lots of different tones ranging from dark chocolate to bright caramel. http://www.wood-database.com/black-walnut/
BOTTOM:
Peruvian Walnut - is a special kind of walnut that is a uniform color throughout the wood. Very dark and super strong, it makes for a great deck box. Just imagine this for your black mana decks...Pox box anyone? http://www.wood-database.com/peruvian-walnut/
Divider: Included! Another nice piece of red cedar to help divide your sideboard or whatever. - JUST IN CASE YOU NEED ONE, I give you one ;)
Finish:
The outside of the box is finished with a hand rubbed danish oil finish for a matte appearance that is both beautiful and durable. Danish oil will dry completely within a day, and has no "oily" issues at all. The inside of the box is not touched with any finish at all. I want zero interaction between my card sleeves and any finish, plus the unfinished wood will allow the humidor properties of the wood box to happen.
- Dimensions: (These are handmade, so the inside will hold double sleeved cards as defined but the dimensions might be slightly different, a lot depends on the wood thickness when building the box)
Outside Dimensions:
5.5" Long x 4.5" Wide x 3.5" Tall
Inside Dimensions:
Main Board side: 3.5" Long x 2 7/8" Wide x 3.5" tall
Token Side: 1.25" Long x 2 7/8" Wide x 3.5" tall (Ample room for your Main/sideboard plus tons of room for tokens/promos/etc)
- Possible uses:
Magic the gathering decks are the primary focus but I'm sure any other trading card game could make use of this box.
NOTE: CARDS/DICE NOT INCLUDED IN SALE. Also be advised that in some cases when purchasing a Cedar box, Shiny Dragon shields might wrinkle. I've seen it in more recent dragon shields, so just FYI. If you decide to get an engraving, I use a laser engraver. Pictures must be high contrast (black and white) to be seen well. Darker woods might obscure a lot of the details to it's better to do bold designs more than intricate small details as the grain of the wood can interfere with the overall look. Other than that, letters/numbers work great!
