All chests are constructed with a tradition of woodworking that dates back over 150 years. More than 65 individual operations are used in the construction of these heirloom quality chests.
All woods are kiln-dried for greater stability, thereby eliminating warps and splits in the wood.
All chests are constructed as 6 sided boxes, with the lids and drawers cut from the same piece of wood. All pieces are kept together throughout the manufacturing process, thereby yielding matched grains and even finishes. Finished Edges Solid wood tops, recessed bottoms on the chest and drawers, and mitered corners eliminate end-grain, yielding a furniture quality appearance. Tapered Drawers Drawers are slightly tapered from front to back to enable a more custom fit without binding. Each chest is carefully stained and hand-rubbed to a rich, lasting finish, revealing the natural luster of the distinctive hardwoods.
