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.
