I am helping my step-son build a blanket chest as a birthday gift for his wife. The chest is a frame and panel design with walnut frame and curly maple panels. The lid will be made of walnut boards, edge glued together. He also wants the lid to have a cushion, which brings me to my question.
I was planning on having the cushion simply lay on the top loose and held on three sides (2 ends and back) with 2" tall rails. I have also considered attaching the cushion permanently with no rails but don't know how I would attach it. I have never worked with a cushion before so any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
