Here at last is the long awaited (by me) Greene & Greene inspired chest.  It is a frame and panel design resting on an independent base -- the finger jointed part at the bottom.  I made wooden hinges for it and a leather strap captured in small brackets prevents the top from opening too far.  It’s probably my best-executed piece to date (I hope that’s not true in a couple of years).

Watch for my project article about the piece in the April 2008 issue of Popular Woodworking.
