Afternoon everyone…..

Several years back, I started making custom handmade treasure chests. I’ve sold many back then, but they are quite time consuming and find the proper looking hardware is even harder.

The process is extremely labor intensive, having to steam the boards in order to bend the radius for the lid. It takes several sessions in the steam unit, along with a lot of persuasion with clamps to bend the radius to form.

I’ve had one started for months now, between covid, my father passing, divorce and trying to make a living it got put on the back burner.

Well it’s no longer on the back burner…

It’s complete now….

This is a heirloom natural cherry interior with a waterfalled black walnut exterior. I was finally able to source the wrought iron hasp and handles to complete it.

Here is what it looks like.

If anyone is interested in one. Please comment below and we can discuss further.
