I thought that I might answer any question on how I might go about building this triple chest from Charleston SC. It is an outstanding chest. Actually it is an out standing chest, out standing in our yard.
I have made a few changes from the originals we have seen. All case sides and rails and drawer fronts are 13/16" thickness. Bring in your wood and let it acclimate itself to your shop before the snow hits because it's going to get deep. And I didn't mean the snow. You will need to add a small strip of primary wood to the front of all the rails and bottoms. Why waste good wood when you don't have to. What might be the first question? Why am I doing this. Who knows!
