Like "之別," "有道" is used like an idiom, meaning that people will use them in only certain combinations in only certain context. 道 means "the Way" or "Tao" (as in Taoism). It describes only something "grand." Making a wooden box is usually not considered grand, unless you intend to sound satirical. That's why the last phrase in your example sounded odd.
