Riven oak Chest 2022
Small cleft boxes featuring both hand-tool and raw riven surfaces. Using solid brass hinges and oak pegs.
Held together with oak pegs, my boxes and chests retain the craft finesse practiced over centuries. I still use only one tree for peg material, sourced 40 years ago and having exceptional wood grain. Able to withstand the weight of a club hammer, the pegs must also be able to move a small amount necessary for humidity adjustments.
