Newly finished blanket trunk project

[rob.nester]

Built a blanket trunk as a wedding gift for some friends. White oak and padouk with a cedar bottom. Much thanks to skymaster for use of his shop for some of the work and thanks to Brad for the emblem!

Looks good, Rob. What finish did you use on the outside?

Started with a few thinned coats of wiping poly, then about 8 or so coats of wiping poly. I wanted just a nice satin finish.

Beautiful chest. Did a great job. The use of the padouk with the white oak was very visually pleasing and the emblem was nice touch.

great choice of which oak boards to put next to each other on each side of the trunk. That combined with the padouk line created a really nice visual flow.
