Project Information

Blanket chest made from pine bought at a local home store. They were selling as "value wood" and pricing it as such. I was able to get quite a bit of usable stock out of what I had purchased and ended up with what you see. The overall shape is very, very loosely based on a design from a recent issue of FWW. Finished with amber shellac and with a coat of paste wax. A gift for my sister-in-law.

Nice, reminds me of the stuff my dad used to make. He loved big box retailers pine.

Everything my dad used to make was out "value wood" also. I was always amazed at how well his projects turned out. Great looking chest, well done.
