It’s been a while since I’ve posted any new projects. I’m particularly proud of this one so I figured I’d go ahead and post it.
Built for a retiring Navy Senior Chief who was looking for someone up to a challenge, I completed it during my off-duty time in just under two months while working my fulltime Air Force job.
It is solid Black Walnut with aromatic cedar on the inside. The finish is Watco Teak oil and Minwax Clear Gloss poly. More build photos can be viewed here:

Seriously, this type of sutff kills me.
So. Not only doing your day-job, but producing a nice piece of craftsmanship and design to boot?
Works like these, by people such as yourself, are always a humbling experience.
Thanks for sharing.

As another retired Chief, thanks for sharing. This is a stunning chest and one that he will cherish forever, I’m sure. That is certainly interservice camaraderie – a “zoomie” making a retirement chest for a “swabbie”!
Great job all around – choice of wood, workmanship, finish – everything is superb!
