Project Information
This project was the latest on the honey-do list. I built this as a toybox for my daughter Cecilia. The chest was built using African mahogany and tiger maple. I decided to put the new 1 1/2 hp motor in thew bandsaw to the test so I bookmatched all of the panels, including the top ands bottom. I used shellac to seal the wood followed by a laquer topcoat, then buffed it out with paste wax and #0000 steel wool to dull the gloss a bit. This was my first attempt at pegged breadboard ends, and they turned out pretty good. I used bloodwood for the square pegs to match the accents of the rest of the furniture I built for the room. All in all I this was a very fun project to build. I just love the contrast of maple and mahogany!
