Here’s a close up of the cherry one for Ali.

This one measures 20” tall, 17” deep and 35” long.

Both have solid brass handles from Lee Valley.

Bob,

By the looks of your beautiful work on these chests, I guess you’re back to feeling nearly 100% and that is great news. The dovetail detail makes this project a homerun. Well done!

Thanks for asking. These were actually 98% done a few months ago, I’ve been putting on the finish and hardware slowly. My arm is better but my hand is still not functional. It will be this was for another 1 to 6 months until the radial nerve grows back.

I can still turn a bowl but that’s about it for now.

Bob – very nice – I like the extra effort put into the feet and into lining the chest – n short cuts here.

Csaw, Check this out. These look tough but are actually very easy to build.
