Hey everyone, as you all know from my last posting of the chest, I am on my way back to Sea and soon to close down shop. I just wanted to post the final product of this retirement chest w/ shadow box inset. It was construct from my own design out of Hickory and Ash. The removable bottom is Spanish Cedar. I was not able to inset all the decorations for the retiring Senior Chief as his household goods were about to be shipped out and he wanted it on the truck. Anyway, I hope you like it and I can’t wait to return with new items in a couple of years. I will always be own when I am not out steaming the open waters, but unfornuately I will be without a shop. See all of you soon.

SeniorChief,
Excellent work. Sacrifice is an easy word to say, but a hard thing to do. I hope you will find a moment every once in a while to check back in to this community for a monetary distraction from the serious and necessary work that you do to keep the rest of us safe. Thank you for your service and be safe.
Mike
