Spice Box & Spoon

Matthew Cremona

Matt will show you how to make a beautiful spice box featuring a glass lid with numerous bins and custom carved spoon for storing and using your favorite spices. This box is multifunctional and can be configured for various uses other than holding spices such as teas, jewelry, or watches. To kick things up, we'll also explore several variations on the design such as solid wood panels, custom veneered panels, and locking hardware.
