Bow Front Chest
Butternut, Macassar ebony, holly, aspen, basswood, and white pine
43" high x 33" wide x 22" deep

With French feet and playful inlays, this bow front chest is made from unusually wide butternut boards sawn from a salvaged tree from the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont. The piece is a tribute to this beautiful native timber, unfortunately headed towards the same fate as our magnificent chestnuts.
