Blanket Chest

[ncleet]

My daughter asked me for a blanket chest when she was home at Thanksgiving. She said she wanted SIMPLE lines and no raised panel look. This was the result. It's relatively small as she requested. I think she likes it. It's oak, cedar lined, using torsion hinges and a lock from Rockler.com Thanks for taking a look.

Scott, It's Deft satin lacquer, thinned just a bit and brushed on. Three coats. Nothing fancy but I find it easy to work with and very forgiving.

Excellent work Lee. Your daughter looks delighted and I'm sure she'll put it to good use. Probably the beginning of an heirloom piece. :eusa_clap
