The u.go Anywhere Pochade Boxes were designed for travel from sea to summit and anywhere in between. The inherent beauty of each tree is shown in the grain lines, knots, and varying wood tones, and combines with the work handcrafting each pochade box to create an item that is uniquely yours.
Each box is made using Baltic Birch wood that is hand sanded and finished with New Wave's proprietary wood finish for maximum durability. The finish is non-porous, dense, and resistant to water as well as standard artist solvents and mediums. In addition, the finish is crack proof, chip proof, and non-yellowing. Stainless steel and aluminum accents provide strength where needed most. All hardware is non-corrosive.
Friction hinges allow for sturdy 180° range of motion. Strong rare earth magnets are used for the closure, panel/canvas holder, removable side wall for palette cleaning/replacement, and accessory side tray attachment. All of the boxes can be attached to a universal ¼" tripod mount.
Teeth on the stainless steel panel holders are capable of holding panels as thin as 1/16" and stretched canvas up to 3/4" thick.
