Boarded Chest

Large "6 board chest" made from Eastern White Pine. The carcass is actually glue ups, hence the quotation marks.

Close up of the design. I'm not a big fan of painting, but the chest needed something to break up the  large expanse of green milk paint.

 Trim shaped with a molding plane

 One board was glued up and used for the top, a gorgeous piece of pine with a pillowed cherry-like figure

Hand wrought snipe hinges and cut nails were used on this project, both new to me at the time
