This two of a kind piece is copied from several chests seen in the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

Saving this exceptional wood for an exceptional piece. It's sister, a walnut version made at the same time resides at Ferry Farm's, George Wahington's childhood home, in Fredericksburg Virginia. No, this not from the cherry tree George Washington chopped down, but it he might have hide the hatchet in a similar chest until his parents found it.
