An Elegant Jelly Cabinet

[Martin Cash]

Finally finished - except for the finish - if you know what I mean.
The Elegant Jelly Cabinet is complete.
I used New Guinea Rosewood predominantly, with an Australian Rosewood panel for the door.
For such a small cupboard, it turned into a saga in ten parts on my BLOG (http://thevillagewoodworker.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/elegant-jelly-cabinet-construction-part.html)
There were a few little dramas but it turned out OK in the end.

Happy woodworking to all ....

Is Elegant Jelly a euphemism for Vegemite?

If so, that's an acquired taste. How much of it would you really need to store?

No, no, no.
The cabinet is meant to be elegant, of course.
Vegemite is like caviar - too much spoils the taste.
I suppose that it is an acquired taste, but Australian children were raised on it and love it.
Here is the recipe for the best sandwich that you have ever tasted:
Very fresh white bread, slabs of very fresh chilled butter and a thin coating of Vegemite.
Yum!

Uppa Heyah in New England, vegemite is used to prevent rust on tools and punish unruly toddlers.

I had a girlfriend from Cairns, FNQ that was most insistent it was a delicacy.
We parted ways over this disagreement. I believe she's running an Ashram in Birmingham, these days.

Phillistine!
Your girlfriend was correct, and like all delicacies, too much spoils the taste.
There is another occasion when vegemite is the only food to have.
When recovering from colds or 'flu and your appetite is just returning, vegemite on buttered toast is utterly heavenly!
Enjoy

I've had some of that stuff before. My reaction is similar to all those other things that are an aquired taste, like beer, wine, cigars: "ACK! Choke, cough, gasp, wheeze!"

I'm afraid I'm not cultured enough to enjoy those delicacies that are an aquired taste. That should be good news for you.

More for you non-philistines! :D
