Tea Box

Artist: Tom Gorman - Calgary Alberta

Artist’s Statement: This box started out with the the highly unusual figured maple panel for the lid. After resawing the maple board to give a beautiful book match it was obvious that the box would have to be square. The challenge then became how to make square more interesting. I achieved this by the addition of three different curves. The curves in the sides and base were inspired by the bottom portion of the Eiffel Tower.
