Default Retry: Another Blanket Chest

OK Lets try again - using Thunderbird this time.

All solid three quarter inch oak (top and front panels quarter sawn)
Mortice and tenon frame joints, mitred corners on the lid, dowel joints
at the leg corners and mitred box lip so no exposed end grain showing
anywhere (unless you tip it up and see the end of the legs!). Finished
in five coats of my own mix of equal parts PU lacquer, white spirit and
danish oil, then wax polished.

Took two days to build it and seven nights to finish.

I recently priced a similar store bought one and they were asking around
450 UK Pounds (approx 900 US Dollars)........ the wood for this cost me
around 90 UK Pounds.

Regards from Glenrothes in Scotland
Mick
