Hello Officer Robert
Nice to hear from you.
Robert I love these old cedar chests.
I think of all the old things I have the chests are my favorite.
Obviously others think the same and there is a whole web site dedicated to everything that is known about Cavalier Chests.
So have a look.

Expertise
I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.
Experience
I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
