ABSTRACT
Apple Boxes An apple box is a wooden box. Why it is called an apple box, I can only guess,
but legend has it that the forerunner to this modern-day box was, in fact, a box used to carry apples. Grips would just fl ip the open side down and stand on it. An apple box has multiple purposes. It can be used for sitting, standing, elevating props, and leveling off uneven heights. Apple boxes come in four common sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2.1 :
Full apple boxes are 12 in. • × 20 in. × 8 in. Half apple boxes are 12 in. • × 20 in. × 4 in. Quarter apple boxes are 12 in. • × 20 in. × 2 in. Eight-apple boxes are 12 in. • × 20 in. × 1 in.
