The
top & sides of this chest are made from solid oak 3cm thick, jointed
together using hand-cut "lap-dovetails".
The
front face of the drawer-fronts and the front edge of the top panel have
a gentle "bow" to them, adding some subtle shaping to the simplisticly
square design.
The
drawer knobs are turned individually by hand from solid oak, showing end-grain
to the front face.
The
drawers are constructed with sets of lap-dovetails (hand-cut of course),
and the colour contrast at the point where the walnut meets the oak highlights
the gapless accuracy of my craftsmanship. |
