My neighbor had me repair her daughters cedar lined hope chest which was made with MDF. She really wants an all wood Cedar Hope Chest.
She asked if I knew anyone who would build her one that is all wood. I told her I would check on this forum to see if there isn't someone who would make one for her. Making one is beyond my capabilities and I wouldn't want to learn on something that is important to her.
I have no idea of what she is willing to pay so I'll leave that up to you and her. Please contact me if you're interested.
