Finished it at last!

I know it's been a while since I posted anything but would like to share this cedar chest I built for my baby daughter. It took too long to do but I had fun. It has Walnut corners/base/hinges, Cherry top and Aromatic Cedar box.
I used several coats of Tung oil and wipe-on Polly. Thanks for looking!

Very nice Ron. Your daughter will love it and pass it on to her kids. I like your finishing room too

Thanks Charles, it's been too cold here to finish in my shop. Today is much warmer at 25 degrees

Ron, Great job, really like those hinges. Your girl will be able to put a lot of hope in it because it's already full of love. Happy Woodworking, Craig

[Carl Babel]

Ron, Craig said it perfectly. I like those walnut corners. Did you say that the hinges are walnut, too (I couldn't tell from the picture)? Those are cool!!!

[Gary Lange]

I like that you did a fine job for sure. The hinges look to be made from wood is that correct?

Ron:

SWEET! I love the hinges, but the whole project is amazing!

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice chest Ron. As OP have said......will be a family heirloom for generations. I know your daughter will cherish it always.

[Ron Blaise]

Yes they are Walnut. I designed them to work with an overlap of the top in the back. I enjoyed making them more than the chest! Thanks.

[Dave Bureau]

very nice chest. But PLEASE put a safety on the lid so it cant slam down and hurt her.

[gary Zimmel]

Beautiful chest Ron.

You must have one proud daughter.

And one understanding wife.....

Great job!

[Mark Boyette]
