<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 1950392, member: 5066&quot;]Well, looks like photo, it seems to me Mr Bieber used to thin stock when constructing those ends so if end took a hard bump, it could split, which is what happened. Those breadboard ends are mortised (groove in center) to accept lid tenon ( projecting piece of wood made for insertion into a mortise in another piece) on end of lid.</p><p>Left end of my chest has this issue, Philly chest has exact same issue on right end.</p><p>Somehow, i doubt Bieber would consider that a flaw, especially after 250 years of use but, no doubt it&#039;s fairly delicate there due to narrowness of breadboard end stock and a sharp/hard bump, splits it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
