Tea Caddy
Hand cut curly maple dovetailed tea caddy with a diamond inlay banding on the lid. Dyed the curly maple with a early American maple dye then sanded down, and finished with a reddish brown dye. The finish I used is waterlox original finish.

Wow! You certainly got that grain to pop! Thanks for giving us the details of how you did it. Very nice!

Very will done.
Who’s dye did you use, was it a powder or liquid dry?
I really would like to duplicate it on some of my work.
Thank you for sharing!
Matt... your Tea Caddy is beautiful! Good work. Love the banding, box color, and dovetails!
Rick, nice pull from the depths of the history pages, that is a cool box. Not sure if I ever saw a MattL since I have been here though. I love me some 2 tone dye on some curly anything if it is as busy as this is.
he was here when we all migrated, i and some others commented on his last posted project almost two years ago. hopefully he comes back ?
