This is a small chest that i made out of two cedar board that had little small knots all in them, It has rabbit joints on the ends and glued and screwed. I used the sap wood of the cedar to fill the screw holes, It has a 3/8 pine plywood bottom. It has High gloss poly for finish. my 2yr old daughter keeps some of her toys in it for now.

Mike, that is a nice toybox. I am sure you daughter will appreciate it more as she grows older but for now it is a piece of furniture that belongs to her. The finish and construction look really solid- they need to be to deal the punishment that a toddler can inflict.
Thanks for the post.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a cedar board with such a large amount of small knots.
Very nice.

It almost looks like birdseye cedar. Nice job.

Nice job Mike – looks like it should last for many years to come. I like the finish on it.

Beautiful! I love the wood with the knots in it and the finish is really nice. It really glows. That cedar is almost iridescent. Great job.

What a great looking chest. Two board?
?! Wow, just how big were they?
Very unusual grain in that Cedar as well. Looks like a fine piece of furniture to me.

It’s gorgeous and it will be interesting to watch it transform over the years, from a toy box, to something else, to something else …
