Here’s a French Chest made out of European pine. French barrel hinges and hardware. It’s 18" deep x 34" wide x 42" tall. The finish is dye stains and glazes with a laquer top coat.

Thanks for having a look!

Les,

We’ve missed you, but this piece was worth the wait! How outstanding! The details are gorgeous. You’re too modest. “French Pine Chest” simply does not do it justice. It should be called Exquisite French Heirloom Chest or something like that.

As Jim said, “Your work is always outstanding.” [emphasis added – LOL]

That is gorgeous Les. I did our kitchen cabinets in a French country style and recognize some of the characteristics.
Beautiful details, love it.
