Cherry Sugar Chest
Mar 24, 2015
Woodworker: Harvey Baker
The lumber for this sugar chest was taken from a 46-in.-dia. cherry tree cut from the historic Grassmere plantation in Davidson County, Tenn., after the property was converted to a wildlife park. Baker based the design on the traditional Tennessee sugar chests from the Civil War era, which were made to store the precious commodity.
Materials: Cherry and poplar; 19D X 31-7/8W X 38-3/8H

A beautiful interpretation of a classic southern form.
Great work!
Very Nice. Please post more photo's if you can..
I've got some wood that I want to turn into a nice side table unit or a self storage box of sorts, but I need a solution to treat the wood first. It'll be a long time before I get to that stage I think!
