A dovetail chest made with traditional handtools including molding and carving . Aprox 16” high X 24” long X 14” deep . Made out of basswood with mahogany stain . Honestly I think it looks better without the stain , but that’s what the customer wanted . -- Anybody can break something it takes skill to make or repair stuff .

Fabulous carving! You’re right—the unstained shows off the carving better! Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding work. I love it. Do you know what the customer intends to put in it?

Wonderful carving and dovetail work, the stain does not help the project, but I guess the customer wanted
it to look like it could have been made in medieval times, and the lighter wood would not have given that
aged patina feel to the project. Wonder if there is a middle ground in there somewhere? Thank you for sharing your skill with us.
