Mahogany and Sapele Chest
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Anna C. ThorntonThis mahogany chest (19 in. deep by 53-1/2 in. wide by 23 in. tall) is Thornton’s modern take on a Gothic classic. Staying true to chests of the period, she kept the heft and the panels within the panels, but substituted highly figured pomelle sapele veneer where there would have been ornate carvings. The finish is shellac.
