- Hardwood Construction: Poplar, ash
or oak are used in the construction of these handcrafted solid wood boxes.
- Moisture Control: All woods are
kiln-dried to the average atmospheric moisture content in the United
States for greater stability, thereby eliminating warps and splits in the
wood.
- Unibody Structure: All units are
initially constructed as a six-sided box; lids and drawers are then cut
from this piece and kept together throughout the manufacturing process,
yielding matched grains and even finishes.
- Miter-and-Tenon Joints: Locked
miter-and-tenon joints are used on all corners for strength and
durability.
- Finished Edges: Solid wood tops,
recessed bottoms of chest and drawers and mitered corners eliminate
end-grain, resulting in furniture-quality appearance.
- Tapered Drawers: Drawers are
slightly tapered from front to back to enable a perfect fit without
binding.
- Hand-Rubbed Finish: Each chest is
carefully stained and hand-rubbed to a rich, lasting finish, revealing the
natural luster of the distinctive hardwoods. Each piece truly becomes an
individual work of art.
- Top Grade Anti-Tarnish Flannel Linings:
Elegant, top-quality lining is custom-fitted to each chest to give a
handsome, tailored appearance, and to provide protection for fine
flatware.
