Walnut Blanket Chest
This custom blanket chest is made with spectacular figured walnut and tiger maple. It features hand-cut dovetails where the sides meet the rear panel, while the front is mitered into the front-sides so the grain is continuous and wraps around the front. The interior features aromatic cedar floor, a pull-out tray and a carved plaque. Supporting the chest are ogee bracket feet which are hand-shaped. The lid features a maple and walnut scallop shell inlay and the front inlaid escutcheon is made of maple. This chest is a significant piece of furniture, measuring 42" wide x 21" deep and standing 26" tall, but I can make a similar chest to any size requirements. From my client: "The blanket chest Kerry created for me should be featured in a magazine. His workmanship and artistry are exceptional, at a price that is more than fair. Communication was always great."

About Me
With a 30-year career in the media industry, I understand the importance of client service, meeting (and exceeding) expectations, and superior craftsmanship. I use hand-selected American hardwoods sourced from local mills, and for some projects, reclaimed materials from century-old barns, to create unique heirloom pieces that you'll be proud to showcase in your home or office.
About My Work
Whether it's custom cabinetry or a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, I treat every commission like it's for a friend. I use traditional joinery techniques and the finest materials and finishes to ensure that your piece not only looks beautiful, but will also last for generations.
