A BOX WITH A STORY: MEET THE NORDIC CHEST

A little hygge, a touch of Scandinavian toughness, plenty of clever mechanics, and a whole lot of love from our engineering team — that’s the recipe behind our latest DIY project. We know how much you appreciate our wooden organizers — so yes, the long-awaited 3D wooden box is finally here, ready to join the ranks of fan favorites like the Enigma Chest, Mystery Flower, and Treasure Box.

Your next DIY obsession is called the Nordic Chest, and it’s a small masterpiece with a big personality. Thoughtfully crafted from natural wood and packed with delightful hidden features, this model isn’t just fun to assemble — it’s a story waiting to be unlocked.

And like any good story, it begins with a legend.
So let’s start — naturally — right there. 😊

Greetings from Thor, Loki, and Freya

Norse mythology is full of tales about these legendary gods, but they rarely appear as a united team. Thor and Loki were more often rivals than allies, constantly outwitting (or irritating) each other. Freya, meanwhile, had more important things to do — like weaving magic and maintaining beauty across the realms.

Okay, what on earth could bring this trio together?

As usual — an impending Ragnarok. When the end of the world comes knocking, even the most stubborn gods have to set aside their differences and team up.

And what does all this have to do with the Nordic Chest?

According to legend, this box was their one and only joint creation. Loki contributed his cleverness and trickery. Thor granted it protective strength. And Freya? She ensured it would be nothing short of breathtaking. The result was a unique artifact — one that, as the story goes, saved the world and aided brave Viking souls on countless daring journeys.

So, where does WoodTrick come in?

Let’s just say — we have a soft spot for stories like this. Inspired by the legend, driven by our passion for thoughtful design, and powered by a touch of engineering magic, we brought the authentic Nordic Chest to life. Now it’s your turn to build what might just be the most beautiful amulet around!

The Nordic Chest: What’s Inside?

This wooden DIY box isn’t just about looks — it’s packed with clever features, too. Once assembled, the Nordic Chest becomes a handy desk organizer for storing pens, tools, and all those little things that need a home. It features a main compartment for everyday items, plus a hidden section that only opens when you unlock it with a secret lever (a classic Loki move!). There’s also a slot for your favorite photo, a stand for your phone, and an engraved Viking Drakkar ship that adds an extra touch of old-world magic.

The Perfect Gift for DIY Fans — and Beyond

We can easily name at least three reasons why.

First — it's a box. And let’s be honest, you can never have too many. Second — it’s a stunning box: made from natural wood, with clean Scandinavian lines and delicate carved details that add just the right touch of elegance. And third, it’s a DIY project — 202 pieces of pure engineering jooooooooy! With a moderate difficulty level, the Nordic Chest is perfect for both newcomers and seasoned builders alike.

So... who’s the lucky one getting this gift? Yourself?

We thought so 😊
