That's going to be really nice and it looks like you're doing great work on this. Can't wait to see it finished!
A little progress on the heirloom blanket chest.
I posted a while back, but to refresh, this is the concept. To commemorate our 40th. At the rate I'm going with it, maybe it will be done by 2025 
It's been a while since I've chip carved, but I went with it, all but one of the five panels I did on one shot. I got the basswood from Arrowhead in MN, great guys to deal with and they will custom cut whatever you want, in my case 12 x 12 panels 5/8" thick.
I'm planning on leaving the basswood unstained, but that could change. The carved panels will be installed after finishing.
