Cherry Blanket Chest Cherry Blanket Chest Cherry Blanket Chest Click the pictures to enlarge them

This is my first project. It is a cherry, red oak and aromatic cedar blanket chest built for the annual school auction where my kids attend middle school. It is a frame and panel construction with a breadboard lid. A commemorative decal inside the chest lists the wood species. The inspiration and plans are from The New Yankee Workshop.

Thanks Shawn. This forum has been very motivational. Figured I should take the leap and post a project of my own.

David, thanks for posting this beautiful piece. It has real warmth, even without the candles. I like it a lot.

Thanks so much for the kind comments! Don you are right about the candles! That was to “spice it up a bit” for the auction catalog.

What a great idea… (The auction, the chest and your generosity) Hope the second one does at least as well. I like the cedar bottom…

Norm strikes again. You have to admit, he good. But this is just as good if not better. Is this like or similar to a “mission style” chest?
