    Blanket Chest

    Recently finished this project for my 2-year-old grand daughter.

    Details:
    Materials: Black (America) Walnut; Aromatic Cedar; Poplar (drawers); ¼” Hardboard (drawer bottoms and dust shield)
    Hardware: Woodcraft
    Finish: Minwax Polyshades in Dark Walnut and tinted paste wax
    Joinery: Dados; Tongue and Groove; Dovetails (carcass dovetails were very challenging)

    I know the pics are low quality, all I have is an old cheap camera, but at least you get a gist of the project.

    Thanks,
    Boomer

                            Very inspiring piece, nicely done. I need to make something similar for my daughter before her next birthday...
