Hope Chest

Listing #2218 Listed on: 07/29/2009 Company Name: Kens Woodcraft

This project was a labor of love. My granddaugter became engaged to be married, so I offered to make her a hope chest. Well, she's now married and it has become a cedar chest!

The frames are Walnut, with Hickory panels. Finish is brushed on / wiped off Deft satin lacquer followed by rubbing out with 0000 steel wool and wax.

I plan to make another one of this design using Mesquite for the panels and perhaps Ash for the framing. It will be for sale.

Nice job Ken. How much for one you plan to sell?

Ken, I have looked at hundreds of chests and this is the one I am going to build. You hit this one way out of the ball park. Very nice job. Do you have plans for sale? How about your notes, I would settle for those. Either way, I am going to build something as close to this as possible. Hopefully it will turn out half as nice as this chest. Thanks for posting, hope to hear from you.
Joe
