15th Century Chests and Boxes

Post by MJBlazek »

Howdy folks!

I have just come into a whole stash of old wood (tearing apart a house) and i was wondering if anybody has any good pictures of 15th century wooden chests and boxes...

any patterns would be welcome too!


Thanks!

(on Pennsic) I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux.

Thanks Irish!

I think I am going to try my hand at the last two.

I have a blacksmith friend who i can probably get to make all the hinges and the latch.
