sugar chest
When I was lucky to find a few 24″ wide clear cherry boards, I knew they had to become a sugar chest. I copied the design and contruction details from a mid 1800’s sugar chest from Williamson County Tn. The earthenware ant traps under the legs are handmade replicas of period originals which were a gift from a good friend.
