Japanese-style Step Chest
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Hubert Zawadzki
Zawadzki updated the traditional Japanese tansu step chest by setting back the middle and top sections. He constructed the piece from Douglas fir as well as cedar, maple, hemlock, and pine. The case features eight sets of hand-cut dovetails. To simplifiy assembly and glue-up, the carcase was assembled in seven stages. It is finished with oil, polyurethane, and wax.
