Mini Chest - Huge Box
Ok guys here it is. This is spare time project for The Lumber Bunker, finialy finished! it has been over 6 months since the start. But it's done.
Some of you who come into the shop will have been watching the progress as it happens but here are some pics for the rest of you who are unlucky enough not to live on the central coast.
The Timber is Red Mahogany, Red Ash, Vic Ash (tassie oak) and Western Red Cedar
finish is Danish Oil and U-beaut's paste wax. with brass knobs.
Every thing is done by hand.
Hand Cut Dovetails, Hand planes, scrappers, Spoke shave for the arch, HNT Gordon Smoother to raise the panels on the back.
and my coolest toy (read tool) my Record 405, which was the last thing used to add the reading to the draw fronts!
Enjoy the pics, ask some questions if you like or come into the store and see it, it will be in store for a week or so before taking up the huge task of holding Mrs Lumber Bunkers jewellery!
over all dimensions are about 500 wide 350 high and 300 deep.
Thanks for looking.Steven Thomas

What a lovely piece. Any chance of getting some better quality photos? They all go blurry when I open them.
Will it be in the Bunker over the Easter break? In which case I may drop in and have a look in person.
Cheers

What can I say, I sat there admiring your work and then to realise all that was done with handtools.
You are a credit to the dark side Steven.
Thank you for showing that to us, it gives us something to aspire to, although in my case that will probably be where it stops, with aspiration!
Mrs Lumber Bunker must be very happy with the results of your labour. Only one problem though, now you are going to have to buy her all that jewellery to fill it up!

Awesome... top job.
I'm not going to say what prompted me to look.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Very nice work, love to see that in person, pity I dont find myself going up to the coast anymore.
I hope there isnt too much space left in it for Mrs LB to want new jewellery to fill it withBrett
Only Robinson Crusoe could get everything done by Friday!

Cliff get your mind out of the gutter...
Sorry Jeremy, The Lumber Bunker will be closed over the break... Because we like to have a break too!
Thanks for the kind words guys, As for how much jewellry it holds.... well now days it's not that much, with all the oversized hippy beads and shells and stuff i think it will be full almost straight away! Full of dimonds... now that is a different story.
Tony, as for spare time... well i think it's about to become a rearity as the next (spare time) project will be a Sam Malouf inspired basonet.
Better quality photos will be up soon, I like to keep them small as i still remember the days of dial-up internet and can still feel the frustration of waiting for a photo tp load. I will link some in a minute.
Cheers,
SteveSteven Thomas
