    Show Us Your Hope Chest/Toy Box/Trunks

    Guys, I'm trying to get some ideas for a charity project I'm trying to do. Can you guys post pics of your Hope Chest/Toy Box/Steamer Trunks. Thanks in advance.

    Daniel - This is a solid oak toy box that I built for my grandson. I used soft closing hardware and undercut the front panel so little knuckles don't get bruised. Hope it helps.

    This is a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, prairie style, dressing bench and cedar lined blanket chest.






    The front inlay is from the design in the carpet of the 1906 Roby house living room,



    and the end inlays were from the design imbroidered in the bedroom's bedspreads.

    It feels really great to sell a pen;
    It feels even greater to give one to a friend!

    If your presence doesn't make an impact;
    Your absence won't make a difference!

    Tack Trunk

    Here is a Tack Trunk I made for my niece out of cypress. The rods inside the top hold the leg wraps and there is a small removable and sliding box just inside to hold the small stuff.

    Treasure Chest

    My grandson liked this steamer chest, which we call a 'Teasure chest'. It was a challenge to build however.

    You all realize the LOML is going to possibly see these and you know what that means ;-)
