Hickory with Walnut Panels
I just completed a new blanket chest based on a design I found in the January/February 2009 edition of “Fine Woodworking.” I made every effort to joint together nicely matched boards, especially for the walnut panels. I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
I built it in the midst of two house moves, so I didn’t take photos along the way, but it was a great project. Some of the joinery was a bit of a challenge because of the angles of the legs, but it went together well after I got it all marked out.
