Pennsylvania Spice Box Plan

by American Furniture Design

While these small chests may have originally been used for storing rare spices, they were often filled with valuables such as jewelry and documents. The 36" × 48" plan is complemented with a detailed and well-written instruction book that contains a bill of materials, a cutting list, jig and fixture plans (where necessary), alternative construction notes and suggested finishing techniques.

Highly figured wood and hand-cut joinery make this chest a showpiece of craftsmanship. When complete, it measures 18" high by 15" wide and 10" deep.

Skill level – Intermediate.
