I'm not clear on whether you'd have to be English to make a copy,
speak English, have to use oak from England, get special dispensation to
make it from any wood other than oak, or what. And, I'm not even going
to mention making one to hold anything other than a Bible. LMAO

But, if I run across some decent wood, I may see about making one
for a friend of mine, who's pastor of a local church - as hard as that
may be for some of you to believe. I think NC grown hickory would be
rather nice.

I prefer the box.

Religious truth. Now that reminds me of "military intelligence",
"jumbo shrimp", and so on.

It's not 18th century English either. It might be American (most
likely), or it might be older English work - it might even be rustic
Welsh, but it's not English-made and newer than mid-17thC.

Does he have an English Oak Bible?

Wish there was a pic of inside so we could see the lock mechanism.
That might clinch it.

I doubt it. Bible boxes are common, original locks are impossibly
rare. Most of the ones I see have obvious signs of two or three
locks, and many of them were originally unlocked, as you can tell from
the carving.

I just found out the actual history on that box. It was made by an
old Englishman, living in the Welsh countryside, out of oak cut in
England, in the late 17th Century, and sold to an American tourist.

I've got a lot of odd friends - some of whom would possibly be a bit
embarrassed to claim me.
