Jennifer's choice of Bubinga, often referred to as African rosewood,
is a very solid one. Bubinga is very hard and sometimes comes in very wide
boards. If you think the grain in the front is well matched it is because
it is made from one piece of wood an extremely rare occurrence in today's
furniture.

Counter balanced hinges allow easy access into family keepsakes.
Lids remain up on your cedar chest
until you close them.

With so many options to choose from, it's easy to make your cedar
chest a special one. To keep the clean look of this piece, Jennifer chose
our standard wooden top and to keep it from warping, we used three
strong ash support rails with sliding dovetail joints to allow the wood
to move as humidity changes over the seasons, yet remain flat. To assist
in lifting this heavy chest, a solid trim rail has been glued, then secured
with plugged screws onto the box.

To keep things together Jennifer, chose the half blind dovetail
joint that you see in fine furniture that has stood the test of time.
A half blind dovetail joint does not show on one face so as not to
break the line in the design and look of the front of the chest yet adds
the mechanical strength necessary for this piece.

Laser engraving and English locks are only two of the many options
available in making your treasured keepsake.
Jennifer sent us this design via E mail in a file she created.

The lid of this chest is also the rare one solid board. The close
up picture on the right gives a hint of the ripple in the grain that occasionally
shows up in this richly beautiful wood.
