This Tea Box is made from Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) and Walnut. The dovetails are hand cut. It measures approximately 12"L x 10"D x 6"H. Inside there is three dividers having a depth of about two inches or the height of a tea bag. The top is stopped via a brass chain. The finish is a custom blend of aniline dyes and finished with shellac, then waxed. If you click on the images you will see an enlarged view, use your back button to return to this page.

The background image is a Stillman Saw Set, patented in 1846. For my unknowing friends a saw set is used to bend the teeth on a handsaw slightly out of the plane of the blade. This opens up a kerf (the cut line made) to allow the blade to progress through the wood without hinder. I became the distinguished owner of one when I purchased a toolbox on Ebay.
