Gothic-style Chest
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Harvey Von Culin
Having an interest in Gothic art and the Middle Ages, Von Culin became inspired to build and carve this American black walnut chest. He carved the linenfold side panels from a design he saw in Richard Bütz’s How to Carve Wood: A Book of Projects and Techniques (The Taunton Press, 1991). With the incorporation of both the tracery and the linenfolds, the chest is representative of pieces from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It has a tung-oil finish.
