Blanket Chest for Charity

What a great contribution to the charity. And, great idea to place contact info in the hidden compartment. Super nice chest and construction.

Beautiful chest. I hope you included in your secret compartment something saying “It took you this damn long to find this?“

Very nice work indeed! Home made projects do quite well in charity auctions. I been known to donate a chest or two to local charities.

I always include a letter of authenticity with my chests, the letter includes construction photos and details of where I obtained the wood (if the tree was local). Also if the chest is made out of oak, I would attach acorns to the letter and explain that the acorns were for the next generation of chests. Of course all this is for show to spark interest in the chest which brings in more money for the charity and interest in your woodworking skills.

I like your other projects especially the gift to the fisherman buddy.

I like the Idea on the hidden compartment I wonder if the winner has found it. Maybe you could fill it with those chocolate gold coins and the client would be wondering where that noise was coming from as they moved the chest around
