Project Information
Designed & built this as a blanket or quilt storage chest for one of my wife's customers using Sketch Up.
The lady said that she wanted a cedar chest but only wanted cedar in the bottom of the chest. As a result the frames are made of Poplar, the panels are made of 1/4" Poplar plywood and the bottom of Aromatic Cedar. The stain is a hand mix after the quart of Cherry that I had originally intended to stain it with slipped out of my hand and landed upside down on the ground. I was able to save about half of the quart and mixed it with some Red Mahogany, some Red Oak and I believe a little Red Chestnut. Its finished in a satin lacquer and has 3" wheels mounted underneath.
