Bostcast

The Bostcast has an interesting historical lore of being used as a container to hide combs or brushes inside. Today this piece is used as a tissue dispenser and towel holder.  This unique piece can be finished by painting as you can see in Gayle Oram’s 2007 book, Rosemaling Styles, Study and Design or you could also carve an intricate design as well.

I have provided two keyhole slots for easy hanging and turn button hardware so you can effortlessly replace the tissue box when empty.  The finest grades of Red Alder and Poplar hardwoods were used along with a solid ½” dowel and ¼” birch plywood back.

Gayle’s new book can be purchased below and the quality of this book mirrors the quality in construction that you can expect.  So get yours now while supplies last.
