Another great project Dusty. I’m interested in the joinery. Doesn’t look like dovetails from the pictures. What joinery technique did you use the for the sides?

gbvinc,
Thanks,
I also like that smell. I learned a trick that over time when the aromatic smells disappear all you need to do is lightly
sand with either steel wool or 30 sand paper and it re releases the smell again.

Betsy,
Your correct I never used dovetails but rather a simple half lap dado. This joint is very simple and strong.
It has worked well for me in several applications.
I use the dove tail in more elaborate or style defined pieces or drawers.
As your well award dovetails are not only very strong they also are labor intensive.
Many projects don’t require them, as in this case.

Very nice, wish some of that aromatic red cedar grew around here.

Great chest Dusty. The inside doesn’t look to have the red cedar look. Did you not put it on the lid also.

Karson,
Great observation. I didn’t use the same finish on the inside and drawers.
From the “lessons learned” department a kind way of saying “how stupid could I have been” after building another chest with aromatic cedar installed on the drawer bottoms and bottom of the chest I stained the pieces with the same stain I did the outside of the chest.
Duh!
Your right, that ended any and all of the aromatic cedar smell.
I and happy to tell you I only did it once.
