Small Cherry Blanket Chest

David this is a very nice piece. The more details you provide on your blog write-up the better. Dimensions, finish, challenges, etc.

Looks great, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words!

I will post details on the blog. I am excited about entering the world of blogging! Hope I don’t ramble too much. I did learn alot and plan on sharing “my big mistake” and how I corrected the mistake.

Thanks for all the expert advice on this website. Lumberjocks is my most visited site.

Very nice David.
The plain, & simple straight lines of it allows the beauty of the wood grain to stand out.

Hello David;
—-very nicely done, and I also like the use of mortise and tenon joinery!

Now you can wait over the coming years and just watch that cherry wood darken to a golden red splendour. I’m looking forward to reading the blog report.

As far as where to host those images at, I use www.flickr.com and www.zooomr.com which work good.

GODSPEED,
Frank

Beautiful art piece Dave. This is outstanding woodworking here.

Thanks for the great comments! Things have been hectic here which has cut into my shop time a bit. The finished piece sold at auction for $2500 supporting a great cause in Sisters, Oregon.

Hi David

Very nice piece of furniture you made and it looks very strong construction.
I’m waiting for the Blog to see the details.

You can be very proud that it was sold for $2500 (I would).

As for pictures hosting, I found the “Photobucket” to be the easiest to use (and you noticed how many pics I posted).
Never mind which host you are going to use, just a word from experience: Before you load the pics, Resize them to 530×398 so they will “enter” to the narrow forum format page of LJ.

If you need details about how to use “Photobucket” or picture resizing program, please PM me.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

Niki – Thanks for the photo tips. You are the photo master!
