The Holly and the Iced Tea (2025)

holly, cherry, titanium inlay

A mitered box with internal dividers. A cracked ice pattern in shop-sawn holly veneer covers the front, into which is inlayed the metal script "Tea."

Ordinarily holly is more brilliant white. This was sawn from urban-sourced lumber and not dried before the grey staining set in, that’s why I was able to get such a large board of it.

Holds two boxes of Smith Tea teabags, preferably the winter seasonal blend!
