Very nice work! I am sure both moms loved the gift!!
What a beautiful chest. Hopefully the inside is as nice. A photo of the inside would enhance the project. Beautiful!!
Very nice. Your fit and finish looks great. Nice choice of wood and the design is top notch. Good job.
Frank Sousa has an incredible attention to details, I have the pleasure to be able to own some of his work and the design, worksmanship and final look of rhe chest and any other piece of furniture I have are exquisit. Good for you Frank, I'm looking forward to owning many more of your pieces of art.

The corner dovetails, were they more difficult to cut across the grain as shown compared to the more traditional end grain/ with grain dovetails?
Sorry, I also forgot to ask you: What are the differences in the dynamics and strength of your corner, cross grain dovetails compared to a traditional dovetail cut from the end grain?
