I designed this chest in honour of my grandson's 1st birthday.  Its serpentine shaped cherry veneered top is supported by a carcass of native yellow birch, proudly  featuring exposed, asymmetrically-spaced through dovetailed joints.  The solid american cherry base also features  through dovetails.  The drawer's half-blind dowetail joinery and inset edging frame the hand-carved emblem of his father's family.  Hardware consists of solid brass lock, bail handles and top supports.  Finished in waterborne hybrid varathane.
