pagoda cedar chest

9 drawers that are dovetailed
I spent some time in asia and love the asian look. The top is hand sculpted cherry and usually has a set of three Samurai swords setting in a rack on the top. The drawers are dovetailed and slide on a waxed wooden slide. This chest was built for my neighbor’s daughter who just graduated. The sides of the cabinet are dovetailed using black lacquer. The bamboo was difficult to find here in Utah, but I was finally able to locate what I wanted. Hope you enjoy.

This is a wonderful piece of modern tansu design. It has an eye-catching quality and an array of beautiful details. The top shelf with its Shinto reference is a very nice addition to the more traditional casework and black lacquered surfaces. You have designed and built a real treasure -- and a great gift. No doubt it will be family heirloom for the young graduate.
Impressive and beautiful! Thank you for posting the photos.
