There are approximately 600 individual species listed in the Quercus (Oak) genus--most are trees, though a few are shrubs. Some are deciduous, some evergreen, some semi-evergreen. Oaks are mostly native to woodlands in the Northern Hemisphere, but they vary widely, from cold and temperate forests across North America and Europe to the tropical jungles of Asia and Central America. Some evergreen oak trees (particularly certain American Species) are commonly called "Live Oak". This grouping name describes several species with an evergreen growth pattern, and it does not reflect any taxonomic classification group--in some cases, these species are only distantly related. Thus, evergreen oaks (Live Oaks) can be considered as a type of oak tree, but only insofar as they're an evergreen oak variety. Find an illustrated field identification guide to take with you to the woods; pictures will help you immensely in your quest to name specific species of oak. In North America, oak trees are split into two main groups: "red oak" and "white oak". Red oaks tend to have darker bark, and lobed leaves that come to a point; white oaks tend to have lighter bark, and leaves with rounded lobes. Common "white oak" species include chinkapin oak (found in limestone-rich soils), live oak, blackjack oak (found on dry ridges), shingle oak (found on moist slopes), swamp chestnut oak (found in wetlands), white oak (found in various ecosystems), swamp white oak (found in wetlands), and overcup oak (found on stream-banks, in marshy bottomlands). Common "red oak" species include water oak (found near stream-banks and lowlands), northern red oak (found in various habitats), southern red oak (found on moist and dry slopes), scarlet oak (found on dry slopes), willow oak (found on moist slopes), pin oak (found in wetlands), and cherrybark oak (found near moist slopes and bottomlands).

Summary: Behold the breadth of the oak family. Understand which oak species grow in your region.

You'll first need a deep or wide edged wooden picture frame. You can get these from the dollar or thrift stores for next-to-nothing. Your other supplies will be Balsa wood, a ruler, double-sided tape, a pencil, paint or something to mark the wood with, a craft knife, craft glue, and backing paper. Backing paper can just be your standard drawing paper. The contents will determine the size and shape of the shadow box you end up putting together. You can put whatever you want in there as long as it fits! Many people use seaside objects such as shells, coral, pebbles. Some people make entire doll house/storefront/miniature scenes within shadow boxes. Others prefer nature objects: gumnuts, leaves, herbs, flowers, seeds, pods, etc. Take a look at other potential options below. Collectibles: Stamps, spoons, coins, stickers, etc. Scrapbooking: The shadow box provides an great display case for scrapbook elements of all kinds. Insects: Do you have a butterfly or beetle collection? A shadowbox is perfect for displaying them. Be kind to the wildlife though; a paper or photographic collection can be just as interesting Militaria: Medals, insignia, buckles, awards, badges, etc. Play around with a design in advance. That way you'll know where to glue everything in place. Arrange the actual objects on a sheet of paper about the same size as the inside of the frame, or draw the outline of the object onto blank paper to guide your arrangement later. If it doesn't have deep sides already, it won't work well for the purposes of this box. You can buy a shadowbox frame on the Internet or an arts and crafts store. You can even make your own if you want. It's really just a picture frame.

Summary: Gather your supplies. Decide what you'd like to place inside the shadow box first. Consider the typical shadow box contents. Arrange the objects you plan to put in the shadow box around a sheet of paper. Choose a frame that has deep sides.
