**Dec 20204: Not pictured above is the latest changes to the box- a notch to make opening the lid easier, a steel threaded insert instead of a brass, upgraded Maple side walls, and a tung oil finish instead of danish oil.
Features:
-Minimal design focused on function. A large mixing area, while still being sturdy, slim and lightweight
-At 11x14.5”, with 1” depth and a weight of 2.3lbs, just barely over 1kg, the box is thinner and lighter than any other comparable palette box
-Wooden palette area that becomes glasslike with use and care. After painting, simply scrape and wipe down with dry paper towel to allow the patina to build over time
-Depth of the mixing area is 1/2” - not too deep to be annoying to use a palette knife, and not too shallow to worry about closing the lid with your paints still inside
-Flat lid with supporting ledge. Allows for working on paper by taping/clipping, or any panel by resting it on ledge at the shelf of the lid, running in between the hinges
-Lid opens to 130 degrees and comes to a mechanical stop - not relying on the hinges to support the lid staying upright, thereby eliminating some of the annoying bounce from other palette box designs
-Adjustable tension hinges allow adjusting the torque of the hinges to your preference
-Magnet to secure palette cup/knife. For a magnetic palette cup, I recommend the Jack Richeson Cups with Brass Cover
-Flush and hidden universal 1/4x20 nut, usable with any standard camera tripod*
-Also usable with a steel tripod easel to facilitate working in sight size, just use one of the panel carriers to hold the bottom of the lid, in the opening between the hinges.
-Constructed with Baltic birch plywood and a natural oil finish
-Included are one pair of heavy duty bands to secure the box shut and pair of clips to hold panels
*I personally use a Sirui 5CX Traveler (shown, not included with purchase) and keep the quick release plate attached at all times.
