Mini tack trunk

Here’s an older project from the other place: a red cedar mini tack box for my granddaughter.
I built it for my granddaughter's 5th Birthday.
She loves to organize her things and play with boxes.
She's started to ride horses a little, hence the mini tack box.
The main box and lid is aromatic Cedar and has black cherry slip feathers.
The two trays are Cypress with 1/4" plywood bottoms.
I'm finishing it with General Finishes Arm-R-Seal. The color is really starting to pop.

I'm pleased with the handle design I created for the sliding lid and really happy with the two trays-they drop in on a cushion of air with a piston fit.

I have a 30 second video of the 2 trays dropping in with the piston fit. I have to see if I can share them—they’re too large for attachments here.
This is a test to see if the link to the album with the video works.
