This is a hope chest that I made for my wife a few years back. It’s made of Cherry, ebony inlays, poplar, and aromatic cedar. The panels are joined with dovetails. I used the Keller dovetail jig for the first time—which worked really well. It’s finished with a rub-on polyurethane.

Great craftsmanship, the bow tie inlays add a little extra to its looks.
