Raised Panel Toy Box

Scott,
A wonderful project, I love the wood selection and the boys seem to like it to play in as well.
I have not seen the Ambrosia Maple but it works here. You have some really nicely figured timber to choose from.

Beautiful piece, BTW for the title did you mean play pen instead of toy box :)

Great looking chest and it doubles as a babysitter too :-)

Great job Scott, that top is very cool and what a fantastic contrast in the wood choice. It looks to good for a toy box but I guess when it comes to your kids nothings to good.

Beautifull box! The top is outstanding but the front and side pannels are just as nice. Fantastic choice of woods. Very good design and build. I am shure your boys will be useing this for many years to come.

Keep up the fantastic work.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

When this box caught my eye, my first thought was WOW that’s beautiful! Wonderful job.

Beautiful as well as functional , Scott ! Such a great combination of woods and figures. My first thoughts were that you had stained some curly Maple as I had never seen that much curl in Walnut before. Great design : )
This will be a wonderful family heirloom .

Excellent! Your choice of woods is a perfect combination.I agree with the other comments,that curl in the walnut is not very common…its fantastic.

So pleased to see Ernie and Bert. Wow on the ambrosia maple.

Gorgeous work as usual Scott. Do I detect a little Watco and poly action? The wood combos are incredible. I sent you an e-mail about some lumber. Hoping I can order some from you soon. Your curly maple eBay store is unreal and the prices are awesome. Great looking kids and very lucky to have a talented father like you.

-- Measure, cut, curse, repeat.

Thats a great looking chest. Some beautiful timber there.

I made my kitchen in NJ out of Ambrosia Maple. I loved that kitchen.
