This is a gift to our Grandaughter for her High School graduation.
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.
Simple birch plywood box with wrap-around cherry legs that I made back in
99. Sorry about the quality of photo, but it's what I have easily online

I made this out of cherry.

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!
Wow, keep them coming guys. Great work.
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.
My grandson liked this steamer chest, which we call a 'Teasure chest'. It was a challenge to build however.
Mine is red oak with a purpleheart/maple sliding drawer.
I've built the following:

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