This week features a Tea Caddy by Derek Jones.
Built by a sixteen-year-old woodworking student, Derek made this Tea Caddy as a gift for his mother for Mother's Day. He originally chose this project because he wanted to learn how to veneer, but he saw how beautiful his project was turning out, so he knew he had to finish it in time to give it as a gift for Mother's Day. His mom loved it, and we do, too!
Inspired by a reproduction Federal Period Tea Caddy.
The Materials: Mahogany veneer, legs & aprons in mahogany. Lid & separator moldings are Purple Heart and Curly Maple. Outer moldings are Wenge.
The Hardware: LK-6 Lock, PB-405 Hinges in Light Antique, and FE-7 Keyhole Escutcheon, in Antique brass.
