Pie Safe

Pie Safe

Not just for baked goods anymore!

This pie safe may look 200 hundred years old, but it is not, though it did take 3 years to complete.

Historicly used in the kitchen to keep flies away from baked goods , this pie safe is perfectly fine for storing other kitchen items as well. Need to open a bottle? Just use the bulldog, a handy vintage bottle cap opener. A pie safe is not just for the kitchen anymore, it works well for storing hats, gloves, shoes, and other things in the entry hall too.

Every hole in the 12 tin panels are hand punched in our shop and then panels are left to rust for 2 years. The naked pine cabinet was aged for several months, then painted dark red, allowed to weather more, then repainted with an apple green milk paint.

The two draws were dovetail jointed by hand. The back of the cabinet is 3/4 pine tongue and groove beadboard.

The wrought iron door handles were hand crafted at the Mabry Mill Blacksmith shop in Virginia.
