Miniture Shaker Blanket Chest

Project by Neal Meyers Jr posted 513 days ago 355 views 1 time favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I bought the book “Pleasant Hill Shaker Furniture” and my Sister in law liked the small blanket chest. I made it for her and my Brother in law for his retirement from the US Navy in April of this past year. He served twenty years as a SeaBee. It is made from walnut and finished with Danish oil and a satin poly.

Sweet chest! That walnut really has some nice grain. Did you do the breadboard ends on the top in the traditional way? How did you do the box joints, special blade, jig? The brother-in-law may have retired sooner if he knew he was getting such a nice chest.

Neal. Consider this piece of artwork/craftmanship STOLEN. Nice job. I think the box joints add a great detail and the bread board ends to the top look great. Happy Fourth!

Looks like you did a great job. That’s something I’d like to make someday, but I don’t know where I could put one.
