The first picture is an exterior shot showing the walnut , veneer, and dovetails I used to make the shell of the chest. About 220 dovetails went into making this chest. The inside of the chest lid was inspired from looking at Steve Lattas federal furniture work on Fine Woodworking.The additiional inlays are my own creation. Each of the two tills have six drawers. Birdseye maple was laid on using the hammer an hide glue method. The hex inlays and cock bead is ebony. The forth picture is the outside of my saw till. The inside of the saw till is veneered with curly maple.

Design or Plan used: My own design
