Holy Smokes Ellen!
It is incredible how you get these absolutely beautiful pieces of wood, and then use them to their utmost beauty!
The whole thing, from your design, to the way you manipulated the grain direction, to the perfect chamfering, to the wonderful finish and the way it brought out that spectacular grain.
Then, using the same beautiful wood for the interior.
There is no doubt that you are “The Queen of the Tea Box”!
And I think this was a splendid choice to keep for your very own.
I think you will be loving this box like you do today, 30 years from now.
Very, very nice indeed!

Just beautiful, Ellen! :) It is simply lovely! No wonder you are keeping this one. :)

Having made guitars, I love rosewood. I have a sister who loves tea (not my drink of choice). You tea drinkers are almost OCD about it aren’t you? I’ve known people who line the boxes of flavors up in the cupboard in just the right order and realign them once and awhile. Some people have to have all their ducks in a row. Other’s it’s tea!

Anyway Ellen, Beautiful wood and nice work. I know you’ll be very happy with your tea all organized in such a nice place. And every time you use it you can say “I did that.”

Ellen,

Super nice wood… You did a VERY NICE job making it…

Did you Mortice & Tenon the sides into each corner leg?

I drink a little tea & have been wondering about doing the same thing…

But, I find myself drinking only two types of tea… Green & Blueberry… so I wouldn’t need all of the separate lil cubby holes…

I’ve heard tea is good for your eyes too….

... remember that commercial…

“Take Tea and See”?

LOL

Nice Job!

I’d love to visit Cape Cod some day…
IIRC the TV show “Murder She Wrote” was supposedly made in that area…

A beautiful box for a nice selection of tea.
I have been thinking of making another one for my wife. I like the way you elevate the box on feet. When I make the next one I am going to so something similar. It will look nicer sitting on the counter on feet, I think.
Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful box Ms. Ellen. I hope you enjoy every cup.

Lovely tea box Ellen and justice done for a stunning bit of rosewood.

Your tea must be much more enjoyable now with this box in view.
