In July of 1980, I built 12 of these chests. The case is made of Madrone, and lined with Incense Cedar, so they smell wonderful when opened. This is called a "six board chest" because the basic box is made of six boards, dovetailed at the corners. These dovetails are hand cut. This is a fancy chest, since it has two drawers in the bottom. Eventually, chests became "chests of drawers", with no lid or top storage area. |
