Project Information
I built this Sea Chest for a retired USMC Lieutenant Colonel. He requested that it include 2 hidden drawers that are easily accessible. I disguised each drawer front as part of the molding on each end. The drawers are 4 inches deep, 12 inches wide and 16 inches long and lined with velvet. Lifting the lid reveals a removable tray with a shadowbox in the center. Not seen in the photos is a solid cedar lined space for storage under the removable tray. I used my CNC machine to cut the USMC Eagle Globe and Anchor into the top of the lid. The EGA was also laser engraved on each cleat. The front of the Sea Chest is covered with 1/8" glass to provide easy viewing of the memorabilia.
