The emphasis on Craftsmanship, honesty in its construction through exposed  joints and use of grain direction was at the fore front of my mind ,when I designed this piece to express my clients life experiences and wish for a peice of fine furniture to become a family heirloom.

 

With tapering legs and hand cut through wedged tenons  giving weight and solidity, countered by the use of grain direction on it drawers  and under arching curved chamfer on its top. All accentuate the Japanese feel to the piece.

The center drawer laid out for silverware with sycamore and dark navy baize placements.

The scooped  division between the drawers allows a passing glimpse of the through the hand cut dovetails, which leads down to the sculpted tapering handles.
