Made this for my son and new daughter in law, just married in the snow at Yosemite Dec. 2008.
My first attempt at following purchased plans, I learned a lot during the process. It is made of cherry, the kids requested the stain. I added the shelves using aromatic cedar, three separate shelve to move and retrieve what is under them.

Very nice…. I’m sure they will or do love it. I especially like the added shelves. May ask where the plans are originated?

Great looking chest – I also like the open rack shelves and the cedar was a good touch. Best wishes to the new Bride and Groom.

Beautiful piece Ron. I like the frame and panel top. Were the plans from wood magazine?

I also well like the open shelfs. Great creativity. I also love working with cherry. It really pops when finished. I love the entire package. Its going to be added to my Favorite File for future consturction when my skills catch up with my desires.
