Joined Chest - Face Frame
My current project is a joined chest in red oak, cherry, and spalted maple.
The construction of the frame is typical drawbore mortise and tenon joinery.
The back panel will be pine. Panels on the sides will be spalted maple. But on the front, I decided on cherry with linenfold carving.
Here it is so far, with nulling on the top rail, “crease molding” on the muntins, bottom rail, and legs, with two completed linenfold panels.
More to come... stay tuned!

Thanks. I debated whether to carve it or not, but I think the pulling goes with the linenfold quite well.

Ron, your carving is really great, the details are spot on, look like they're machine made. This is going to be a beautiful chest.
Beautiful! You've chosen a nice balance of details.
Great details in the carving Ron. I'll be following along.

Looking good Ron - parchment fold is next on my list of things to try, I'll get around to linen fold sometime after that.
Nice! I like your woodworking set up. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product!

Thank you all for the kind comments. Right after snapping the last photo, I received a jury summons in the mail! So between being on call for jury duty and the storms working their way across the South, my progress may be slower than I would like.
