The seed pod that forms the body of this work is from the Australian Banksia tree. Often used for craft turnings such as candlestick holders and weed vases, I have developed techniques to hollow the pod on a lathe to a 3/16î wall thickness. Details such as the spouts, handles and lids are made from African Blackwood. The tray is African Sapele. Although this tea set is not utile, it does contain all of the elements of a serviceable tea set. The spouts are hollowed, the handles are crafted for a comfortable grip, and the lids with finials are removable. Handles and the spouts are glued and secured with hidden pins. Each handle is made of two triangular pieces of Blackwood joined together with an equilateral triangular joint. The small feet of the tray were also turned on a lathe and attached with a dowel joint. The upper edge of the tray has a 60∞ angle and the lower third has a 45∞ angle. The inside of the lids are embellished with two triangular grooves.
