Sea Chest History:

There are numerous finds with regards to this style of Sea Chest, both the Oseberg Ship burial and from the Hedeby Harbour discovery. The plans are also very similar to the larger Mastermyr Sea too chest too. Each side uses different cuts to add strength, this was needed as this all in one piece of furniture was used as Luggage, Rowing Benches and being thrown around on board Longships in the North Sea!

No stencils, no printouts all hand drawn and carved for a more authentic look.
