Wenge Tea Box

Season 1 Episode 105 | 26m 46s | CC

Host Tom McLaughlin is joined by Fine Woodworking’s Mike Pekovich who shares his methods for making a beautiful tea box out of the dark and exotic wenge wood. He then contrasts that with a bird’s eye maple which creates the interior pieces. Along with sharing his methods for making dovetails and a textured surface, Mike reveals a special clasp enclosure that makes this tea box really special.
