This is for my wife and her various teas.
It is oak plywood with zebrawood banding on the front and eucalyptus veneer on the drawer fronts. It measures 8×11” x 8” deep. Finish is linseed oil, polyurethane and wax. The drawer construction is just 1/4” oak plywood with butt joints. Strong enough for their size and what they’ll be used for. Next one, I want to do with solid wood and dovetails.
It has a French cleat on the back to hang on the kitchen wall. We haven’t decided where to hang it yet.

A pretty spiffy box. I like the drawer fronts, they give a nice contrast to the rest of the box. The drawer handle are pretty cool too.

This is a nice job Dusty. I really enjoy the contrasting wood especially the eucalyptus. I have never had the opportunity to work with this wood. The color and grain pattern look gorgeous.
The french cleat will make it easy to install and move if necessary. I use this on all my shop and garage wall cabinets. It sure beats trying to hit a stud from inside the cabinet.
Thanks for the post.

I was going to make a tea box for the wife as well but when I started to put it together it got heavier and heavier so I stopped. (I was using Yellow wood or at least that’s what they called it) I like the idea of draws. Its cuts the weight down and still allows for the selection of tea you looking for. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to all for your comments. My wife loves it. As always, I see things that should have been done differently and goofs that could have been avoided. All part of the learning process. Wait until the next one…
