These Noah's Ark Toy Chests with intarsia animals were made for my granddaughters Evalyn and Karinna. One box is made out of Ash and the other out of Mahogany and Maple. Both use raised panel and floating mortise construction. The animals are all made from natural colored wood using no stain or paint. The zebra consists of over 80 pieces fitted and glued together and took me in excess of 8 hours to make.
