Love that birdseye maple in the top (nice touch). Nice tight dovetails.

Very nice chest! The woods work very well together and the dovetails look great. Nice job!

Dovetails, birdseyes, how many birds died in the making of this chest LOL.

Nice work.

WOW…hand sawn dovetails. That takes real patience for sure. How did you finish the box? I’m making cherry face frames and raised panel doors and have not decided how to finish them.

Thanks for all the nice comments fellas. The finish is something I learned from Charles Niels a-z video series. I used trace coats of honey amber dye to pull some yellow out of the grain. I left the last coat of honey amber after final sand, and topped with mission brown tinted shellac. 2 coats. seal coat 2 lb mixed with transtint dye. Topped off with 2 coats of wipe on poly.
