Elm Chest and other boxes

[gobbypunk]

Just wanted to share some photos of my chests and boxes that I have been getting into making recently. Started with a gift of a lovely bit of elm which I wanted to make something special out of. Took some time hollowing it out tho! The big one is elm and the two smaller ones are in yew, with a tray insert made of spalted beech, and holly.

Hi dervish it is back breaking to hollow them out with the saw - takes ages but worth it thanks for your nice comments all of you

They look real good mate well done ! How big are they as I get no sense of scale from the pics ? How have you hollowed them out ? you say with a saw, a chainsaw ? but the finish looks far too good for that !!
