Pearwood Chest | ||||
![]() |
Inspired by "The Luggage" of Terry Pratchet's Discworld and a supply of planked timber from a fallen venerable perry pear tree. The box is of basic carcasse construction with the lid panel decorated in a geometrical inlay of apple, walnut and holly to create a visual illusion of three dimensions. |

This close up of the
corner shows the distinctive "Love-tail" joints. Unlike the flat wedge
shape of conventional dove-tails, these feature joints are cut to a
heart shape. Fittings in cast brass complement the colours of the timber well |
