Edward O'Keeffe Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 OK here are the pictures of the latest sea chest to roll out on my shop. It belongs to Miss Lily Alexander. This one is solid cherry with wenge cleats. The finish is straight linseed oil. I have been letting it sit in the sun for the last few days to let it darken. All I need to do now is get some beckets on it.
Capt. Sterling Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Hey kind of looks like mine... only not all beat up and stuff... I could help out in that area though...if she wants...

Silkie McDonough Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Nice work Mr. Okeeffe ...as always.
CaptainSatan Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Nice woodwork. As we say in Ireland let's drink until the alcohol in our system destroys our liver and kills us.

jollyjacktar Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Mr. O'Keefe, In agreeance with all others fine crafsmanship indeed. Do you mind me asking where you got the hinges? yr hnrs hmbl srvnt CJ
Edward O'Keeffe Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 The hinges came fromAmerican Heritage Crafters in PA. Here is the link to the pair I used... http://www.americanheritagecrafters.com/default.asp?action=level3&catid=6&cattypeid=40&itmid=4100&page_cnt=2 They are hand forged and made custom to the back dimension of the chest in question. Mine required a bit of discussion back and forth as the sides are 7/8 and cant in at 7 degrees. They were very careful to make sure the fit would be right. Great company to work with. E O'K
