Curt,

I was hoping that no one would ask that question! I'm a painfully slow woodworker and I don't have as much stamina as I used to. If I get 3 or 4 hours of steady work in the shop, I've had a good day. I started working on this chest seriously around Christmas time. There were some time gaps totalling about a month, and some days that I just didn't work on it. I have no idea how many hours I have in it, but a lot.

Thanks for your comments.

Hank

Great looking design. Those drawer fronts are very cool. 
Nice work!

As others have said: "unique", "never seen that before", etc.  Your project really looks nice!

Thanks, everyone for the wonderful compliments. I appreciate your kind words. It was a fun project, but I'm glad it's done. I'm ready for something new. That shouldn't be a problem. My wife has a honey-do list she's been compiling while I was working on this.
