After coming back from the CR Fine Furniture Program, I was fortunate enough to get a commission for a custom piece of furniture.  

The piece will be a cabinet for a jewelry maker, styled after a Japanese tansu.  A choba dansu to be exact or a merchant’s chest.

I actually started this project in July but have been working on it steadily all the way to now (September).  I’ll be doing some catch-up posts and trying to detail as much as I can. Feel free to ask questions and I’ll try to reply along the way.
