Dear uncle John, some how we lost touch, but i'm about to get married. LMBO I wish. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful wood working. Your chest are both beautiful and fully functional what more could a woman ask for. As for it being an old tradition not followed much these days it makes those chest that much more special. It's a wonderful tradition please instill in your kids to keep it going. would be a real shame to have your skill not passed down and lost.
Great Job.
