Six board chest

(1/4) > >>

Sir Humphrey:
I've shifted from leather work and sewing for a bit. This is a six board chest that doubles as a bench, made at the request of my Lady.  18 X 11 X 34 inches and made of 1 inch thick pine.  The finish is milk paint waxed with a mixture of beeswax, linseed oil and turpentine.

Sir Wolf:
nice man, very nice

Ian:
Beautiful! Pegs? Nails?

Sir Edward:

That's great! A very nice, period look to it.

Held together with forged head nails from Tremont nail company.  The hardware is cheap stuff I found at VanDykes restorations.  The hardware is held on by screws until I can find some handforged nails small enough to use on them.  I don't want to screw it up with modern round wire nails.
