  1. General Woodworking Discussion
    Hi, New member here. I'm building a wooden chest as a wedding gift. I really love the look of ornately painted furniture, like the chest of drawers below from Romania, and thought I'd give it a try myself.

    Hi to all! My name is Michael and I live in Concord, New Hampshire. I received an invite to join in my inbox, and so here I find myself...

    My Mother-in-law, who lives with us had talked about getting a blanket chest for in front of her bedroom window. I thought it would be someting I could make. I just used 3/4" plywood and some moldings that I found at HD. The bottom edge has the same molding as the top edge and I mounted the...
  11. Wood Finishing
    I bought a 2nd hand cedar chest recently that where the finish was in rough shape and looked like they had attempted to sand it down. I rescued it and now have it sanded down smooth and I'm trying to figure out the best finish for it to make the grain really pop and not to have it too glossy...
