This is one of two identical parquay pedastal tables that I made from a variety of different woods.
This is my bow shop where I work on my bows and build my arrows. I believe this is the photo that Bowmasters magazine will use with my article in the spring 2000.
This chest came over from Ireland with my grandmother and is thought to have been in the family for about 300 years. It was in terrible shape and broken in several places. Much of the trim was missing also. Several years ago I spent an entire winter in restoring it. I cut/carved matching molding trim entirely by hand since the pattern was no longer available. Also the original finish was some type of combed, white-lead (I think). It was just too deteriorated to be salvaged so I finished it with tung oil.
