Riven oak Chest 2022
Cleft box (or diminutive chest) made from local oak and measuring approx 35cm wide and 37cm long.
Riven chest with pegged joints.
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.
