6-Board War Chest
Sometimes known as the “boarded chest” this design is one of the most basic concepts; six sides form a box therefore, six boards make this chest! The 6-board chest was used throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. The design is so simple and practical that chests of this style are still made today! This 6-Board War Chest is similar to our 6-board chest except it is longer giving you more packing space for longer events.
Made from Pine this chest measures approximately 30" wide x 11" deep and 18" tall. Our chests are sturdy and are the perfect height to use as a seat as well as storage Available painted or unfinished.
An Original 6-Board Chest
A till can be added to any of our chests. What is a “Till”? A till is a box within a box. In period a till was used by merchants to hold small valuables and coins. Some period tills were found with lines and grids to aid the merchant in making change. The modern name for a cash register till comes directly from these medieval tills. Our tills slide back and forth on runners allowing access to all the contents of your chest, or they can be removed all together. Tills are great a place for small valuable things that may otherwise get lost, i.e., site tokens, spare change, car keys, etc.
