This
hand crafted, solid cherry and walnut fly tyer’s materials chest took over one
hundred hours to build. All of the
dovetail joints were cut by hand, and each of
drawers was custom fitted. The chest will hold an impressive amount of
fly tying materials or fly fishing equipment. The top compartment can be used
to display a dozen or more fine reels or fly collections.
The
craftsman who created this chest is Captain David Van Haasteren (U.S. Merchant
Marine, Ret.). An avid woodworker for all of his life, David’s specialty is
designing and creating fine, functional furniture from beautiful hardwood. All of the wood used in this chest was resawn
and milled from rough stock. When David is not pursuing his hobby, he is
employed as an engineer and travels frequently to Europe. David and his family reside near Greenville, SC.
Thank you David for this amazing piece of furniture.
