Many Woods Tea Box #2
This first batch of tea boxes is Pride maximalist with Ribbon Mahogany, Cherry, Spalted Maple and hardwood Maple ply.. This one has a Zebra top and blue vegan cork that is water resistant. It's finished with pure Tung oil to make it food safe.
Many Woods Tea Box #2
These tea boxes are 10 1/2" long, 7" wide (including the feet) and 4 1/2" tall including the feet.
They combine hardwood and plywood with
veneer. Combining these types of woods and veneer address two needs.
First, plywood is more stable than hardwood so it can accommodate the
movement of wood which never stops. Second, veneer is more sustainable
because one tree can provide thousands of sheets of veneer.
The linings are made of cork -- a fast growing, highly renewable tree.
I finish the boxes with Tung oil which has no VOCs.
Dust them on occasion. The tung oil is water-resistant but don't get them wet if you can avoid it.
I want you to love your box. Keep in mind that each box is unique and none is "perfect." Each has its own strengths and flaws. If you don't love it, please contact me for an exchange or refund.
