This is a beauty that I built using rail and panel design. No stain just a couple of coats of laquer. Oh and don’t forget the tray inside. These are perfect as a toy box for a pirate or as a blanket chest. This particular one was used as a coffee table.
A great looking chest with lots of super detail.
Every once in a while I build something to push my skill level and this was one of those projects… What you can’t see in the picture is that we lifted the grain on the top to really give it some texture that goes though the finish and the front panel is book matched.
