BESA Transit Chest

[rmgill]

That makes it easier. The plans I have for the No4 Mk1T transit chest show the ends with a cap. Possibly more an issue if the lid is multipiece.

So, on the subject of woods.

The No4 Mk1T plans indicate Deal for the top, bottom and sides and beech or elm for the ends and interior fittings.

Lacking a good source for Scotch Pine (Deal) I'm going to use spruce or poplar most likely for the sides and Maple for the ends. I'm going to avoid oak as that has tannins/acids that'll attack any steel/iron fittings inside, including the screws unless galvanized.
