Our talented cousin Kenny Burns built this fabulous quarter sawn oak Service Cabinet.
It’s an exact copy patterned from the original 1903 Graves Light blueprints.
The back is curved to fit the radius of the tower.
The original is long gone.
The Keepers used the service cabinet to store oil lamps, tools, wicks and glass chimneys. We’ll use our new one for the same purpose.
Kenny’s shown in his shop before bringing his exact replica to Boston. Soon it will be in the lighthouse.
Having remembered the Globe story a while back, I’m completely delighted to see Your lighthouse from comfort of my new home. Keep up the great work. I sincerely appreciate you for sharing your adventures online.
Beautiful workmanship.
