This is a new yankee project that I made about two years ago for my wife to accompany the hutch in our dining room. It is made of pine and finished with polyurethane. The panels are edge glued solid wood and there is tongue and groove cedar boards in the bottom. The lid is biscuit jointed. She is currently storing all her childhood memories in there. This is my first chest. To date, I have made a total of 5 of them. My favorite is one made out of oak, stained with minwax golden oak. I made another one out of poplar with minwax dark walnut stain for my stepmother’s christmas gift. She was more than pleased with it. The other two were made of pine and stained with dark walnut. I didn’t like the stain but everybody else loved them. I will try to post pictures of those two as soon as possible.

Very nice chest. I’ve been wanting to make a nice blanket – I’d just have to figure out where to put it!

This is a nice chest. With 5 of these beneath your belt obviously they are all successes. We tend to focus too much on the less than perfect details of our work. If you other family members were pleased with the results then that is really all that is important.
Nice work. I am interested in seeing the other chests.
