New, Carved Gothic Chest/Coffer in Yew wood

   An outstanding example of  wood carving, in the 21st Century.

   This Yew chest/coffer has been constructed from sourced, extremely well seasoned yew boards with very little or no waste in its execution, which can be seen from the way it was constructed.

  The front and rear panels are wide boards fitted together following most of their natural contours and fixed together by time old traditional and natural methods, of mortice, tenon and dowel fixing.

  The beauty of this extremely rare, colourful and highly figured timber, along with the different types of crisp carvings, gives this Yew Chest a most wonderful tactile character which speaks for itself and would not look out of place in almost any room in any household.

  Please note, the wood with which to make this item, has been seasoned for many years and all of which, is a one off item.
