Grendbaby's hope chest

[wndopdlr]

I have been a lurker here for many years and a wood butcher for longer than that. A friend gave me some walnut that had been cut by his grandfather in 1962 on an old circular mill and I have been looking for a good project for it ever since.. My nine year old Grandbaby came to me and asked me to build her a hope chest. I am not even sure she know what a hope chest is, but it was a good enough excuse. I had made her bed room suite out of cherry, but decided to use the walnut for this project. I was pleased enough with the outcome that I thought I would share.

Wally, Glad to see you are still making sawdust.
Beautiful job on the chest.
Have you been doing any segmenting?

Good to hear from you Charlie. Have not turned any segmented for a while, but it is somewhere down the list. I look at your posts and pics in awe of your skill set.
