I made these two treasure chests for two of my granddaughters, who were 6 at the time. They were made in Zebra Wood using box-joint construction for the bases. The curved tops were made using segmented slats, cut at angles and glued together into semi-circles. On the tops and the bases, I attached hammered brass straps that I made, and then added a handful of furniture tacks for more decoration. For the latches and handles, I bought these exotic (yet really cheap!) bronze hardware imported all the way from China!
