ckaiserca Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Just drove this home from Louisville, KY. I was able to borrow my father-in-law’s SUV. It fit in the back perfectly. I need to do some slight modifications of the drawers, but I think it looks nice. It’s a perfect fit for my living room. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugyotsuji Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Your tansu looks nice there. (Hope there are no earthquakes in your area though.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had one very small one that I felt in the last 25 years or so. Apparently we had one hell of a storm the other day. My wife and I missed it as we were in Kentucky at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROKUJURO Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Charles, don't rest your swords on the TSUKA as this might damage your SAYA in case you have a real blade mounted. The TANSU is simple but really nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, there is just a tsunagi fitted in both sets of koshirae. I suppose I should remove the kogatana from the wakizashi koshirae and the saya might fit that way.

RichardP Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Very handsome! Can I ask what modifications you made to the drawers? Did the drawers come with sword racks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drawers didn’t come with racks and that is what I need to add. The chest and drawers are made with paulownia, so it is very light in weight. I need to find a source of paulownia here in Ontario to make the racks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.hennick Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 You could also use plexiglass. A plastics shop could make the inserts to order. Paulownia will probably be difficult to source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Basswood is easy to work with, and can be sourced in pretty large blocks for relatively little cash: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
