Project Information
Built for friends who had their first child a year ago…(I'm behind in my project list!!!) I'd built one for my niece some years ago out of reclaimed Doug-fir ( http://lumberjocks.com/projects/840 )and she seems to like it. The wood on this one is Big Leaf Maple that came from the tree farm in Oregon we both work at. I had it milled a couple years ago and air dried. These were some of the wider (18") boards that I got out of the tree - lotsa figure! The plan for the box is from Woodsmith - Finished with 3 coats sealer, 2 coats poly and wax. Hopefully it will make a good treasure chest for the kid!
