Federal-style Serpentine Chest
May 27, 2015
Woodworker: Lonnie Bird
Lonnie Bird designed this Federal-style serpentine chest (20 in. deep by 39 in. wide by 35 in. high) for a class to be taught at his woodworking school. “The abundance of curves makes this chest highly sculptural in form,” he says. The deep, exaggerated curved front terminates beyond the drawer fronts with angled case corners. All of the details combine to make for a challenging project.
The primary wood is flame maple, and the secondary wood is poplar.

A beautiful piece. I hope this results in a article by Mr. Bird for a future issue FWW. Are you "listening", Mr. Bird and FWW editors?
