wooden box

Simple lumber receptacle

A wooden box is a container made of wood, typically rectangular with rigid sides.

The term is straightforwardly descriptive rather than idiomatic—any box constructed from wood qualifies: She stored old photographs in a wooden box in the attic.

Wooden boxes range from rough crates to finely crafted jewelry boxes.
