Hello,
I'm, not sure the best place to post this, but:

I bought a really nice chest froma thrift store the other day. And was wondering if and where I could buy the panels used to make it. They could be carved with wood, or simply a piece of plywood with a decorative metal encasing it. Or even where I could get the decorative metal for a piece of plywood.

Like my chest.

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully somebody here will be able to help you.

Can you make a better set of pictures? The ones you posted are so blurry I cannot tell a thing.

It's an iPhone3G so : /.

But here are some more.
It a piece of sheet metal, possibly Brass. And it has a decorative design rolled into it.
Then it is bent and nailed onto the wood.
In my case, or in the chest's case. The metal is being bent around the whole object.
If you know where I can get the metal for this, that's great.

What I was asking is if there is a place where I can get the metal ordered to either fit single boards or to fit a box.

I want a Wooden box to be covered in sheet metal.

Here are some more pics. These are the best I can do.

Here's a couple more.

Here's a link:

These seems to be made by the same manufacturer that made my chest.

And I guess if you like them. You can buy them. I got mine for 20$, but it's going to need some refurbishing. These look pristine.
