Cedar toybox

Project by bocephus posted 366 days ago 488 views 1 time favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I bought this cedar to make my daughter a blanket chest, but never made the time to start the project. After the birth of her twin daughters, I made a toybox/blanket chest, killing two birds with one stone. The challenge was cutting and gluing panels to avoid knots where I had to cut dovetails. It turned out so good I am considering making a second chest so each of the girls has their own.

Beautiful chest. I made one this summer myself. I really like the dovetails in yours. I have to keep practicing that before I can put them in a project. Great job!

I salute you for making dovetails in cedar. I built a similar chest years ago, but opted not to cut the dovetails.
