Made, right here, in the U.S.A.

Every effort has been made to select the best quality materials. It is getting increasingly harder to find good quality wood. That may seem "hard to believe", but most of the old growth lumber has been harvested years ago. Whenever possible, we will use older wood for its strength, and dimensional stability. We want our products to provide years of dependable service. Brian Lowery

A small Chest to Treasure

There is something special about an arched top treasure chest, shown here with a chestnut finish.

The top is formed with many narrow strips of wood. The origin of the shape could be based on its superior
load bearing strength compared to a flat top. Comes in handy should you want to bury it!
Top is secured with brass hinges that are attached with wood screws to the 3/4" pine. Your valuables can
be protected with a padlock that secures a brass hasp. Functional and beautiful too.

    I have one of these that I am supposed to stain and shalac for my sister n law so she can put pictures on it with her acrylic paint. One of the problems I am having right now is filling in the gaps between the strips of wood on top and in other places. I have already used plastic wood but most of it fell out when I went to sand it after it dried. Please can anyone help me with this project??
