This little teapot is made from acacia wood, it measures 4" tall by 7" long. Its finished to hopefully
look well used, like 'dirty old worn metal' there is an explanation of the design etc in more detail on my blog(link in my profile under 'homepage').

Comments and critiques are welcomed.

Pretty neat Johnny. It does look like an old iron kettle.

Teapots aren't easy. Here's one I made as a Christmas gift for a friend using figured cherry. It's HUGE, probably 18 inches from tip to handle. The spout actually works and the vessel could, theoretically, hold liquids, but the owner uses it to store teabags.
