Magnificent, what else can be said. Thanks for showing, great inspiration to all woodworkers.

Thanks very much for the kind comments.

You might notice that the inlaid letters were limited by either straight lines or, when a curve was involved, by the arc of a compass. My hope is to be able to do more ‘free-hand’ traditional lettering, as done by the likes of Steve Latta. That looks like rather tricky work, but the lettering looks better IMO.

Thanks again and God bless,

Pat, That ‘tool chest’ is an apothecary chest from a 19th century country store. I found it in Roanoke Rapids, NC in an antique shop. Quite handy for small stuff, and the old pine patina is really pretty.
