Mahogany Curved Blockfront Chest - Finished Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the finished piece.


Itwas made with one two boards.  One for the top and sides and one for the drawer fronts and feet.
The secondary wood is eastern white pine.


The top and sides have book matched figure.



The hand cut dovetails match the pattern of the original.  Each drawer has a working lock.


Hand carved ball & claw feet with the side toes turned back like many Boston pieces.



Close up of the drawer fronts, finished in five coats of blonde shellac and dark wax.

The piece is available, contact me at dboeff@sbcglobal.net for details.
