But every time I read it I am consumed by oak envy - not a one to be found in Alaska!<br /><br />Bob - You're welcome! I noticed those chests - on the ships too. I liked their forged hardware. I think the simple nailed construction has a lot to do with the originals making it. We tend to look down on nails and reach for the modern adhesives - which is where I think the trouble begins. <br /><br />We do know <b>more</b> than our ancestors - we just don't know <b>better</b>. ;)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-50668479710819269222010-05-21T04:05:41.872-08:002010-05-21T04:05:41.872-08:00Great shots Dan, thanks for sharing!

One style of piece that I really loved from Jamestown when we were there were the simple, nailed up, six board chests (like the ones in several of your pics). While these were reproductions, it's incredible to see that the originals have survived for 300 years, even with their single wide board, cross grain construction. Goes against everything we're taught today about woodworking. Maybe we don't know more than our ancestors afterall :).Bob Rozaieskihttp://logancabinetshoppe.weebly.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-2128718018097478692010-05-20T12:51:27.295-08:002010-05-20T12:51:27.295-08:00Nice pics.

Too much reading Peter Follansbee's blog I guess. :)<br /><br />Jamie BaconPlane Shavingshttp://planeshavings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
