Williamsburg-Inspired Chest on Chest
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Andrew J. Ritchie
This chest on chest was Ritchie’s second try at veneered furniture. Although the form is based on an original seen at Colonial Williamsburg, the chest elegantly incorporates design elements from other periods. The piece is made of curly maple, with veneers of curly and bird’s-eye maple. The secondary woods are pine, cherry, and maple. The chest took approximately 400 hours to build. The finish is linseed oil and beeswax.
