Memory lane (3)

The naval chest, once in the garage of the naval uncle, presumed to be the personal drawer space for a person in the navy of 50 years ago. The clean design suggests stacking, whether ashore or afloat I have no idea.

38 inches wide, 22 inches high and 21 inches deep. Carcase made of 1 inch pine boards, rub jointed to make up the 21 inches then dovetailed together. Drawers still slide sweetly, without needing any candle grease.

Altogether a substantial piece of work. Retained, although a fair proportion of what were the contents this morning have been retired.
