The Mrs. Really like the blanket chest I built earlier in the year and asked for one for Christmas. I made this one just a little bit different them the earlier one. It's made from red oak and for the splines in the base I cut them from red heart and Purple Heart I was hoping for more contrast then the two but there wasn't.

Came out looking just about right. I'm sure the Mrs will be happy.

Very nice. Did you cut the dovetails by hand or with a jig? If a jig, which one?

 

[Travico]

That is a nice piece of FURNITURE! I hope to get into making Chest and Boxes in my spare time and retirement one day.

I used this jig http://www.ptreeusa.com/ptree_dovetail_system.htm and it works good for what I needed.

Nice chest. I am making a cedar lined chest as a christmas present. I like the looks of the hinges you used--what is the spec for them?

 

[Paarker]

Theses are the hinges I used for my chest http://www.rockler.com/lid-stay-torsion-hinge-lid-support-satin-nickel. They are a little on the expensive side but I do like the way they work.

That's some gorgeous work right there. I love the dovetails and the splines. Fantastic job.
