blanket chest

Project by Jim posted 686 days ago 460 views 4 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Built this chest a few years back. Solid top that the kind folks at the hardwood supplier helped me finish by sending it thru their 24” surface sander. The sides and bottom are frame and panel construction. Mortised solid brass hinges with a plaque dedicating my love to Mary

Thanks folks. Paul, Mary isn’t a cedar fan, so I just constructed the bottom similar to the sides – frame and rail. And Mary was quite surprised because she had no clue it was coming…

Beautiful chest. Can you tell us a little more about it? I’m guessing oak, but what type of finish?

The chest is oak with 1/4 oak panels. It was stained to match an antique oak dresser. Even though the finish looked pretty consistent 5 years ago, I noticed when taking these photos that the solid pieces are no longer the same shade as the panels.
