Project Information
Blanket Chest, white oak throughout. Frame-and-panel bottom, rabbeted into the sides and screwed. Breadboard ends on the lid. Very happy with how this turned out. Oil-based poly (always). I sometimes mix 1/3 mineral spirits with 2/3 poly and rag on, but I don't think I did that this time. Too lazy to run out to the shop and check my notes. Also, I hear that thinning satin poly negates the flattening agent that makes it satin, and in my experience, this seems true. This was a graduation gift for my niece, and I banged it out in less than a month. That's good shootin', Tex.
